1 Keynote speakers Day 1 Signhild Gehlin the association. Signhild Gehlin is technical expert at the newly established competence centre for geothermal energy in Sweden (Svenskt Geoenergicentrum.She is a civil engineer and has a PhD in Water Resources Engineering. She was one of the pioneers in thermal response test (TRT) and built and developed the first mobile device for TRT in She has previously worked at the Swedish Society of HVAC Engineers as technical secretary, chief editor and between as General Secretary of Geothermal Heat Pumps A Swedish Success Story Sweden is the third world leading country in geothermal energy utilization and installed capacity, with about a quarter of all geothermal boreholes in the world. Every third single family house has a geothermal heat pump installed. The success story started in the 1970's with the oil crisis, and the work of Swedish researchers and developers is world renowned. What built the success, and what is happening now in Sweden? Roland Horne Roland N. Horne is the Thomas Davis Barrow Professor of Earth Sciences and Professor of Energy Resources Engineering at Stanford University, and Director of the Stanford Geothermal Program. He was formerly the Chairman of the Department of Petroleum Engineering at Stanford from 1995 to He is best known for his work in well test interpretation, production optimization, and tracer analysis of fractured geothermal reservoirs. So far in his academic career he has supervised the graduate research of 42 PhD and 115 MS students, including about 50 in geothermal topics. Roland is an Honorary Member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers, and a member of the US National Academy of Engineering. He served on the International Geothermal Association (IGA) Board , , and , and is the President of IGA. He was Technical Program Chairman of the World Geothermal Congress 2005 in Turkey and 2010 in Bali, and will be again in Melbourne in Roland is one of the founders of the IGA online database of geothermal conference papers. Christopher Juhlin Chris received his Bachelor's degree in Geology from Brown University (Providence, RI, USA) in 1978, his Master 's degree in Oceanography from the University of Washington, (Seattle, WA, USA) in 1983, and his PhD in Geophysics from Uppsala University (Uppsala, Sweden ) in He worked for Continental Laboratories as a well-site geologist in the Williston Basin in 1980 and During 1986 to 1988 he worked as a geophysicist for Vattenfall Sweden. He has held academic positions at Curtin University of Technology (Senior Research Fellow, ) and Uppsala University (1993- present) and has run his own consulting company since He is currently professor of geophysics at the Dept. of Earth Sciences at Uppsala University. He is also adjunct professor at Curtin University

2 of Technology since His research interests include crustal geophysics, high resolution seismics, seismic modeling, mining geophysics, geological storage of CO2, and scientific drilling. COSC project A major drilling project has been approved and funded by the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) and the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet VR) for investigating the structure and composition of the Swedish mountains. Start of the scientific drilling is expected in Spring Main objectives of the project, officially called Collisional Orogeny in the Scandinavian Caledonides (COSC), include (i) improved understanding of mountain building processes (orogeny), (ii) investigating the geothermal gradient and its response to paleoclimatic influences along with the hydrogeological-hydrochemical state of the mountain belt and the deep biosphere in the metamorphic rocks and crystalline basement, and (iii) calibration of surface geophysics and geology. The COSC research program is being developed by five working groups, geology, geophysics, geothermics, hydrogeology and microbiology. It has direct relevance for society by improving our understanding of mountain building processes, hydrological-hydrochemical regimes in mountain areas and Precambrian shields, deep subsurface conditions for underground engineering, ore genesis and assessment of geothermal potential. Søren Berg Lorenzen Mr Søren Berg Lorenzen is the Managing Director of Danish Geothermal District Heating, the in-house consulting engineering company of the Danish district heating sector. He obtained the academic degree of M.Sc. (Energy) from the Technical University of Denmark in 1999 and has experience with both geothermal energy and district heating from his present position and from previous jobs as project manager at DONG Energy (the largest Danish energy company) and Ramboll (one of Europe s leading consulting engineering companies). Deep Geothermal for District Heating Production Experiences from Denmark Denmark has one of the highest shares of district heating in Europe more than 60 % of all households are heated by district heating. At the same time, geothermal reservoirs are present in many parts of the country. The presentation will describe the development of geothermal energy for district heating in Denmark and based on the experiences and learnings so far will set up a vision for the future role of geothermal energy in the Danish district heating supply of the future. Differences and similarities to other countries will be pointed out. Invited speakers Day 1 Rajinder K. Bahsin Rajinder K. Bahsin is senior geologist at NGI

3 Carina Bringedal Carina Bringedal is Ph.D-student in applied mathematics at the University of Bergen. Her research focuses on modeling of heat transfer in the subsurface, in the context of geothermal energy extraction. In her talk, she will present how natural convection currents in the groundwater can affect the heat transfer into a borehole heat exchanger. Using high-order numerical simulations how natural convection affects the energy production from the borehole are investigated. Results from the study shows that natural convection will in some cases provide a positive effect and transport more heat towards the borehole, while in other cases the convection currents transport the heat away from the borehole resulting in a smaller heat production than anticipated. Kåre Hansen Kirsti Midttømme Kirsti is general manager for CGER and senior scientist at CMR. She is a graduate Civil engineer from NTH (1990) and a Ph.D. in petroleum geology NTNU She has been worked with geothermal energy both shallow and deep systems since 1998 at NGU ( ) and NGI ( ). Kirsti has been the Norwegian Delegate in the IEA Energy Storage Technology Network and was chairman of this network in Jiri Müller Jan Martin Nordbotten Jiri Müller has a PhD in Chemistry and joined IFE in 1986, and since then worked as a project manager/coordinator on more than 30 R&D and industrial projects financed by Norwegian and foreign oil companies, EU (more than15 EC research, demonstration and Marie Curie projects all within 4 th, 5 th 6 th and 7 th Framework), NFR and NPD. In the current presentation, he will present the project IMAGE Exploration and Assessment of Geothermal Reservoirs, which is a new EU FP7 project. The role of the Norwegian participants (IFE, NORSAR) will be highlighted. Jan Martin Nordbotten is professor in mathematics at the University of Bergen and is regarded as among the foremost of Norway s young researchers. His research interest is in mathematical challenges which occurs in applications spanning from renewable energy resources to body organs. At GeoEnergy 2013 he will give a talk about how mathematical modeling and numerical simulations can be valuable tools in understanding physical couplings between flow and fractures which occurs during geothermal energy production.

Saman holds a Ph.D. majoring Applied Geophysics from Luleå University of Technology, Sweden. In his PhD project, Saman was responsible for data acquisition, modeling and interpretation of several geophysical methods (magnetic, gravity, resistivity and induced polarization) in order to provide constrains to other geological and geophysical investigations for volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) exploration in the Skellefte mining district, northern Sweden. In the VIRCOLA project, Saman will try to develop a methodology and versatile visualization platform to provide better understanding about the CO2 storage project in Longyearbyen, Svalbard.
