• GEODE Series - SPE Energy Stream
  DOE's GEODE (Geothermal Energy from Oil and Gas Demonstrated Engineering) consortium is a catalyst for geothermal innovation that brings together members of the geothermal and oil and gas sectors to leverage best practices and knowledge from oil and gas to help expand the use of geothermal energy. As part of that mission, GEODE is creating venues and events to facilitate the dissemination of geothermal and oil and gas knowledge.  This series of webinars hosted by SPE is designed for professionals and students entering the workforce who are interested in learning more about the synergies in skills and technologies between geothermal and oil and gas.
