WPC ENERGY CANADA PRESENTS

Alberta Geothermal Piloting and Testing Forum

January 27, 2027

Event Details

The Forum will bring together geothermal innovators, drilling and service companies, researchers, academia, governments, investors, industrial customers and international geothermal experts to develop an understanding about what must be proved before a technology is genuinely ready to scale — and what elements of that proof can be undertaken faster, more safely and more economically in Alberta. Speakers to be announced as they are confirmed.

About WPC Energy Canada

WPC Energy Canada is a trusted and inclusive platform for individuals and organizations to gain insights into the requirements of an effective energy transformation. By facilitating informed discussions grounded in verifiable facts and data, WPC Energy Canada advances this understanding.

The World Petroleum Council of Canada, now WPC Energy Canada, renewed its focus and mission following the 24th WPC Congress held in Calgary in September 2023. Calgary was chosen as the host city for the 2023 Congress by international WPC Council members on June 23, 2019. Following this successful event, the World Petroleum Council of Canada rebranded to WPC Energy Canada, aligning with its international parent organization, WPC Energy.

Moreover, the WPC Energy Future Leaders program engages young professionals in the energy industry through collaborative global forums, complementing the broader membership of WPC Energy Canada.
