Professor Catalin Teodoriu, has built the world's first large-scale testing facility for geothermal isolation tools. This groundbreaking setup simulates extreme downhole conditions (350°C & 10,000 PSI) to ensure the viability of geothermal energy. Essential for achieving net-zero targets and testing tools for projects like UTAH FORGE.

MPGE Students! GEODE is sponsoring a trip to Reno, Nevada Jul 31-Aug 2 for a geothermal development event focused on oil and gas! Present your research via abstract submissions. Applications DUE JUNE 20TH. https://www.geode.energy/resources/george-stutz-student-days
