    Geothermal energy is poised to be a key contributor in the shift to a sustainable energy future. Oil and Gas industry has the skillset and expertise to convert this geothermal dream to a reality. However, this transformation can be significantly expedited using modern data science and machine learning methods.

    In pursuit of this goal, SPE Data Science and Engineering Analytics Technical Section (DSEATS) is organizing a datathon focused on geothermal energy, in collaboration with SPE Gulf Coast Section, US Department of Energy, Utah FORGE, and Project InnerSpace. The SPE Geothermal Datathon 2023 is going to challenge participants to solve a geothermal engineering problem using real field data from the Utah FORGE Project. Participants are going to use modern machine learning methods to create predictive models to aid future geothermal energy production. Participants are going to work on one of the largest geothermal datasets assembled including never before analyzed data. They will leverage their combined engineering and data skillsets to generate actionable insights to help solve the real-world design problem.

    The datathon will be accompanied by bootcamps covering technical topics related to data science in energy, geothermal energy, and soft skills.  The Bootcamps will kick off in February and datathon will kick off in March 2023. More details will be provided on the event webpage.

    Hello Pushpesh:

    Is this datathon event virtual or in-person?

    Thanks,

    Thomas

    Hi Pushpesh,

    Great challenging event!
    Understand this event is virtually held from Feb to May.
    How much time candidates will need to dedicate to this Datathon over this period, roughly?
    Is it an every day task, or pre-planned dedicated Web sessions, and of what duration?
    Opened to non-US people leaving in EU?
    Opened to drilling experts or more oriented to reservoir stimulation & production experts?
    Regards
    Régis

    Hi Régis,

    The datathon has two phases. The bootcamp phase will start in Mid Feb. Bootcamps are going to be 1-1.5 hr sessions with Industry Experts. The competition phase of the datathon will start in mid-March. That is when the data and problem description is shared with the participants. The participants will have approximately two months (mid-March to mid-May) to propose a solution to the problem. We will encourage everybody to create a team, which will distribute the load. Participants are welcome globally. The problem will cover a wide variety of domain expertise from seismic to drilling and completions, reservoir, and production data. That is why creating a team would be better.  I hope this answers your question.
