Speaker: Bruce Mountain, Senior Geochemist and Lead Scientists, Experimental Geochemistry Lab, GNS Science
Join Dr. Bruce Mountain, Lead Scientist of GNS Science’s world-class Experimental Geochemistry Lab (EGL), as he shares the latest advancements in geothermal science, and how their work helps reduce operational risks, lower costs, and enhance developments worldwide.
This session will cover cutting-edge research on supercritical conditions, high-fidelity reservoir simulations, and the science solutions for managing scaling, corrosion, and reservoir reinjection. Learn how the advanced laboratory replicates real-world geothermal conditions and provides critical insights into fluid-rock interactions, material durability, and the potential for mineral extraction.
With over 25 years of experience in geothermal geochemistry, Dr. Mountain specializes in fluid-rock interactions, scaling and corrosion mitigation, and reservoir management. His expertise supports both commercial and research partners in optimizing geothermal energy systems, ensuring long-term sustainability and efficiency. His work has contributed to significant advancements in understanding supercritical fluids, silica polymerization, and the reinjection of non-condensable gases in geothermal reservoirs.
