The GEODE Consortium is accepting team registrations until 5 May 2025 for the upcoming Geoscience and Engineering Datathons.
Team registration is still currently open for the GEODE Datathons, a competition where participants will learn from industry experts by using real, field-case analyses that will explore the areas where geothermal and O&G technologies come together.
Registration is open only until 5 May 2025. Click here to register.
NOTE: These Datathons are funded by a U.S. federal grant, so it is required that participants are U.S.-based. Foreign nationals who work and/or study in the country are welcome.
The GEODE consortium is a catalyst for geothermal innovation that brings together members of the geothermal and oil and gas (O&G) sectors to leverage best practices and knowledge from O&G to help expand the use of geothermal energy.
As part of that mission, the program is hosting a series of initiatives to facilitate the dissemination of geothermal and O&G knowledge. One of the most effective ways to do so is through hands-on experience, so GEODE is launching two Datathons where participants will learn from industry experts by using real, field-case analyses that will explore the areas where geothermal and O&G technologies come together.
GEODE is thrilled to invite participants to showcase their data science expertise and problem-solving skills in two innovative Datathons:
Geoscience Datathon
Dive into the world of subsurface data! Participants will analyze geological and geophysical datasets to uncover blind geothermal systems using cutting-edge data science techniques. This challenge encourages creative solutions through advanced feature engineering, predictive modeling, and data visualization strategies.
Engineering Datathon
Tackle the complexities of well testing data! Participants will analyze operational data obtained during extended well tests to infer the flow partition between production zones and improve completion design. This challenge involves synthesizing insights from diverse monitoring methods, including micro-seismic, fiber optic, and tracer datasets.
Teams will be evaluated on predictive accuracy, creativity, and actionable insights. Joining one of the GEODE Datathons will bring you:
- Exposure to real industry data
- Access to a series of data science bootcamps to hone your skills
- An opportunity to test and prove your skills through competition
- Opportunities to work with fellow data enthusiasts to solve real-world problems
- A series of great prizes
