Subsurface complexities exist both in Oil and Gas and Geothermal. Mitigating risks is a regular practice in Oil and Gas and Geothermal. What makes the subsurface risks similar and different for Geothermal and Oil and Gas? Are we sharing knowledge across industries? I sit down with Pawl Victor, Technical Sales Rep/Geothermal Champion for the Eastern Hemisphere for NOV to talk about these topics among others.
Subsurface risks are pretty well known in Oil and Gas, even in sub salt regions or other exploration arenas where there are significant unknowns we invest and execute projects. So why is it that in Geothermal we don't apply a similar mindset? Why is Geothermal underfunded? Oil and Gas has brought access to energy, economic development and more to countries once thought of as non-existent in the global landscape. Today's chat with Pawl Victor of NOV dives into some of the similarities and differences between O&G and Geothermal and some of the main hurdles it faces.
