Ian Cogswell to present at the 4th AAPG Geothermal Cross-Over Workshop

The American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) is hosting a geothermal cross-over workshop to explore ways of harvesting the technical, environmental and commercial synergies between the oil & gas and geothermal sectors.  The workshop will discuss experiences, best practices and knowledge on how to get the best from both the oil & gas sector and the geothermal sector, in order to both accelerate and improve the quality of the geo-energy transition.

On Day 3 of the event, during the session focussing on business synergies, Portland’s Ian Cogswell will present his thoughts on how Project Finance techniques used in the oil & gas sector can be applied to support the development of geothermal projects.

Ian Cogswell contributes to Siemens Energy’s “Working Back from Net Zero” workshop and the 1^st Edition of the Energy Knect Expert Insight Newsletter

The Energy Knect Newsletter was launched in October 2020, with Ian Cogswell providing thoughts on the risks on which lenders specifically focus when financing new oil & gas projects that are designed with the transition to net zero emissions in mind.  This followed on from his participation in Siemens Energy’s “Working Back from Net Zero” workshop, where some of the industry’s leading professionals joined together to brainstorm ideas of how they can collaborate through the energy transition journey.  The workshop concluded that the lack of a common understanding on the level of financial risk due to technology deployment is disabling the energy transition process. There is a need to enable investors to better value the  economic risk of technology deployment in project development and Ian will now work with the workshop participants on a  white paper addressing how technology risk can be mitigated, which will be shared with energy transition stakeholders.
