2026 Webinar: Project Obsidian and the Path to Superhot Geothermal Power
As part of the Australian Geothermal Association's webinar series, Dr. Trenton Cladouhos from Quaise Energy discussed the work underway to access superhot geothermal in Oregon, USA - an as-yet untapped supercharged energy resource Quaise Energy is developing Project Obsidian in Central Oregon, a superhot EGS project on the southern flank of the Newberry Volcano. To design, drill and develop a superhot EGS at the site, Quaise is drilling a deep confirmation well to determine t
2026 Webinar: Cooling the AI Boom with the Ground Beneath It
As part of the Australian Geothermal Association's webinar series, Martin Pujol, Senior Hydrogeological Engineer at JRG Energy, explored the use of groundwater cooling to create greener data centres, looking at a case study in Johor, Malaysia, and possible applications in Australia. In Johor in Malaysia, 700 MW of data centre are under construction but local water authorities have stopped approving projects due to limited water resources and surging demand. These challenges a
2026 Webinar: Guiding Future Geothermal Development - Enablers, Innovations, and Learnings from Hot Sedimentary Aquifers
As part of the Australian Geothermal Association's webinar series, Dr Han Claringbould from Sproule ERCE took a look at real-world field challenges encountered with hot sedimentary aquifers, and the steps taken to overcome and learn from these issues. Hot sedimentary aquifers have been exploited for geothermal energy for multiple decades (e.g., Molasse Basin – Southern Germany, Paris Basin – France). In 2006, the geothermal pioneers the Netherlands, some opportunistic greenho

2026 Webinar: Unlocking Subsurface Potential - how 3D modelling drives successful geothermal projects
As part of the Australian Geothermal Association's webinar series, Samantha Sellars from Seequent discussed the latest in subsurface technology. This includes real-world examples and case studies showing how 3D geological models support geothermal projects—from early exploration and well planning through to long-term resource management. It also features the story behind Seequent’s technology evolution, from roots in medical and film industries to a fully connected suite of g
