sector could lead to lost business and jobs can take heart if the showing at a major trade fair and congress in Germany was anything to go by.’s largest geothermal trade fair, with more than 6500 attendees and more than 240 country and company exhibitors showing up in late February.
The old and the new energy businesses are so compatible that companies can transfer their processes, products and expertise with relative ease. Stewart McGregor, senior drilling engineer at Merlin, said: “Drilling geothermal wells is fundamentally the same as when drilling oil and gas wells.“Merlin sees the same issues in both conventional and geothermal drilling – a workforce which lacks the experience and competence of the previous generation.
“The report highlighted well engineering, sub-surface modelling, corrosion mitigation and data analysis as key areas with the potential to create or sustain 37,000 direct jobs in Scotland.” Craig Duncan, business development manager at Aberdeen-based drilling operations consultant ADC Energy, said: “Experience gained on oil and gas drilling rigs is directly transferable to rigs used to drill geothermal wells. Scotland has the full breadth of capabilities to ensure both Germany’s and Scotland’s geothermal ambitions are made a reality.”
SDI calls this “The Just Transition: Using Scotland’s oil and gas experience to develop a new supply chain of geothermal companies”, and judging from the engagement in Offenburg, that’s precisely what is happening.
