The Energy GeoHackathon

The SPE Europe Energy GeoHackathon aims at educating and disseminating knowledge to all the participants on how Data Science applications can support Geothermal Energy Developments and drive the Energy Transition.

​

The event is organized by a diverse team of volunteers from different SPE Sections in Europe and from International Technical Sections moved by the desire to “make the Energy Transition happen” in a datafied and sustainable way.

Registration

A formal registration and the payment of a ticket is required to participate to SPE Europe Energy GEOHackathon.

Bootcamps (October 2024)

A four-week bootcamp sessions on data science and geothermal energy will begin on October 21, 2024. Data scientists and industry experts will deliver weekly sessions to equip participants with the relevant technical knowledge to understand the challenge and be ready for the Hackathon.

THE CHALLENGE

This year, the challenge for the SPE Europe GeoHackathon will be to use a dataset from Croatia. The aim is to use machine learning to predict reservoir properties for two new wells, using well and seismic data from 6 other wells. This information will then be the basis, to generate a geothermal field development plan, to generate electricity for a town of 50,000 people.

HOW?

The tasks will involve:

Part 1 (60% - data analytics task):

  • 1.  Review the well and seismic data and initialise the neural net

  • 2.  Take the data from the 6 wells and train the model using them

  • 3.  Confirm that the neural net has been correctly trained

  • 4.  Using the neural net, to predict the reservoir properties for two new wells

​​

Part 2 (40% - Geothermal Development Plan). Using the data given above plus cost and heat data, come up with a plan to develop a geothermal reservoir for power generation. Determine:

  • o   How many wells need to be drilled and determine what the production is?

  • o   How much electricity can be generated based on predicted production rates?

  • o   How much does it cost and is it economic?

WHY?

A data-driven prediction and ML classification of reservoir properties from seismic data and well logs can enable solutions for:

  • Computationally efficient workflows to interpret large volume of dataset obtained from seismic campaigns

  • Identifying new features and facies using unbiassed AI workflows contributing to geothermal field developments

  • Speeding up the interpretation of the seismic data
