New geothermal technical content and programming will highlightknowledge transfer among oil and gas and geothermal professionalsRICHARDSON, Texas, Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Project InnerSpace (InnerSpace), a non-profit focused research organization committed to the exponential global growth of geothermal energy, and the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), the world's largest non-profit member organization for oil and gas professionals, today announced a new partnership to institutionalize geothermal as a durable technical focus area across SPE's core technical disciplines. InnerSpace provided support for the partnership with a $100,000 grant, "Catalyzing Systemic Growth of Geothermal Across SPE Technical Directions," building on SPE's identification of geothermal as one of its five technical "Grand Challenges." The support is designed as catalytic seed funding, providing the activation energy for a set of repeatable initiatives that can sustain and grow over the coming years within SPE, with the aim of engaging the full technical weight of the oil and gas industry in the future of geothermal.
