Organized by SPE Europe, the Energy GeoHackathon focuses on how data science can advance geothermal energy and drive the energy transition. It brings together a diverse volunteer team from SPE Sections across Europe, building on previous editions with 650+ participants from 40+ countries and 80+ hours of certified training.

Format

  • Bootcamp (1–31 October 2025): These 4 weeks involve training from data scientists and industry experts on data science applications in geothermal energy.
  • Hackathon (November 2025): Teams tackle challenges using AI and agentic workflows to extract, validate, and apply well data for nodal analysis and production estimates.

Main Challenge

Build an agentic AI workflow that:

  • Creates concise, accurate summaries of well reports (via RAG workflows)
  • Retrieves key parameters to calculate wellbore production capacity
  • Integrates the system to perform nodal analysis and return reliable, user-friendly results

Bonus Challenge

Use computer vision to extract analysis inputs from images instead of text.

Data

Participants will use open-access Dutch well data (www.nlog.nl) for development, with final scoring based on unseen reports.

Why Join?

  • Gain hands-on experience with geothermal datasets and workflows
  • Improve data science and geoscience skills
  • Collaborate with international peers in the energy transition

Registration is open until 30 September.
