Western GeoPower is pleased to announce the unveiling of our new and improved website Please visit the website www.geopower.ca to find out the latest information on Western GeoPower Corp.; we invite you to check the website often to remain fully informed of our company’s milestones. Featured are links to numerous informative media articles on geothermal energy in the news both local and worldwide; also take advantage of our many links to the geothermal community at large. Do you hear the AAPG-SEMP Conference calling? Dave Blackwell might be soon. We need abstracts on geothermal projects related to sedimentary basins. The deadline is Sept 27, and at least 10 people need to step-up and submit papers for the session to be included. Students this is a great opportunity for you as well to present your research ideas. This is a great opportunity to reach an international audience. The due date for an abstract is Sept 27!

Dear Colleague,
The session will be chaired by Dr. David Blackwell of the Geothermal Laboratory at Southern Methodist University, and Dr. Richard Erdlac of Energy America Geothermal. We are soliciting your assistance in making this geothermal session a success. We are interested in presentations that cover geothermal electric production as related to sedimentary basins; power plant types that can be employed, including hybrid systems; economic analyses related to geothermal power production from deep oil and gas wells; historical discussions of the past Texas gas/geothermal hybrid power plant in the Gulf Coast and other aspects of the DOE geopressured geothermal program; resource characteristics and locations; and any other subject appropriate to the location and extraction of geothermal energy from oil and gas wells. Our professional colleagues from the geothermal industry are especially invited to both attend the meeting and submit papers to this session. Due to a new audience that is only peripherally aware of this approach to geothermal power generation, presentations which may have been given at past geothermal conferences will be accepted so long as these presentation show connection to geothermal production from this oil and gas environment.
Texas
has the distinction of being the first to have had a gas/geothermal hybrid
power plant in the Gulf Coast as part of a demonstration project. The plant
operated in 1989 and 1990. Much of this early work was made possible by
assistance from the oil and gas industry. It is only appropriate that this
session be held in Texas at an annual SEPM-AAPG meeting. As the demand for
energy continues to grow world wide, new innovative approaches to energy
production are needed. The future production of geothermal energy, along
side that of oil and gas production, is one way that these two important
industries can work together towards securing a sustainable energy future.
