AGEC2010 starts tomorrow

Australian Geothermal Energy Conference starts tomorrow. I am flying to Adelaide tonight. Based on the Conference Program, it looks like it is going to be an exciting Conference.

The Queensland Geothermal Energy Centre of Excellence is represented by nine presentations. I list them in the order they appear in the Conference Program:

1. Evidence of impact shock metamorphism in basement granitoids,Cooper Basin, South Australia, Andrew Glikson and Tonguç Uysal
2. Geochemistry of silica rocks in the Drummond Basin as a record of geothermal potential, Tonguç Uysal, Alexander W. Middleton, Robert Bolhar, and Massimo Gasparon
3. Hydrothermal alteration aspects of high heat producing granites in Australia & Europe, Alexander W. Middleton, I. Tonguç Uysal, Massimo Gasparon, and Scott Bryan
4. Geothermal Prospection Using Existing Groundwater Geochemical and Thermal Datasets: Identifying Regions of Interest in Queensland from Government Well and Bore Data,Craig McClarren, Massimo Gasparon, and Tonguç Uysal
5. Comparative petrology & geochemistry of high heat-producing granites in Australia & Europe, V Marshall, J Van Zyl, SE Bryan, T Uysal, M Gasparon
6. Progress in CO2-based EGS, Aleks D. Atrens, Hal Gurgenci, Victor Rudolph
7. QGECE Mobile Geothermal Test Plant & ORC Cycle Challenges, Andrew S. Rowlands and Jason Czapla
8. New Design Concepts for Natural Draft Dry Cooling Towers , Hal Gurgenci and Zhiqiang Guan
9. QGECE Research on Heat Exchangers and Air-Cooled Condensers, Kamel Hooman

The above list shows the range of research conducted at the Queensland Geothermal Energy Research Centre and each one of them will have a very interesting story to tell. It will be a good Conference. If you have not registered yet, it is still not too late to do so using the on-line registration facility.

See you at the Conference.
