Calgary, Canada. Monday, 1 June 2026: Seequent, The Bentley Subsurface Company, and a global leader in geoscience software solutions and an International Geothermal Association Partner, will be exhibiting at the World Geothermal Congress (WGC) 2026 in Calgary as a Diamond Sponsor.
At WGC 2026, Seequent will showcase how integrated geological modelling and subsurface data workflows are helping to overcome subsurface uncertainty, enabling more confident exploration, improved resource characterisation, and more informed project development decisions across both conventional and next-generation geothermal systems.
Key Seequent moments at WGC 2026:
- Opening Keynote: Graham Grant, CEO, Seequent
Graham Grant will deliver a keynote on how geoscience innovation and digital transformation are accelerating geothermal development. He will highlight the role of integrated subsurface data and collaboration in scaling geothermal energy for the global energy transition.
- Cascade Institute; Seequent
Seequent will be joined by the Cascade Institute for an in-booth session exploring Canada’s deep geothermal potential through national-scale thermal modelling.
- Industry plenary session: Digital Innovation and Geothermal – success stories and a view to the future
Seequent will lead this plenary exploring how AI and connected data are advancing geothermal development, with real-world examples of improving exploration, subsurface insight, and field optimisation.
The discussion will be moderated by Seequent’s COO, Angela Harvey, and will feature Jeremy O’Brien, Segment Director, Energy at Seequent; Ghazal Izadi, COO of XGS Energy; and Daniel Minguez, Senior VP of Resource and Engineering at Cyrq Energy.
- Technical panel session: The future of geothermal resource assessment and management
Join Seequent and industry experts for a technical session focused on the evolving practices, tools, and skills shaping geothermal resource assessment. The discussion will address key industry challenges and provide practical insights into improving resource management and project outcomes.
