许多钻井行业的从业者都将地热视为帮助世界能源扩张的关键机会，IADC 地热委员会一直致力于建立井分类系统来指导地热井的开发。

在 6 月 18 日于马德里举行的 2024 年 IADC 世界钻井大会上，DC与委员会主席、Helmerich & Payne 井工程经理 Scott Farmer 讨论了 2023 年 11 月成立该委员会的动机。Farmer 先生还讨论了正在进行的完善分类系统的努力，以及与其他组织合作推进地热钻探的机会。

With many in the drilling industry looking to geothermal as a key opportunity to help the world in its energy expansion, the IADC Geothermal Committee has been working on a well classification system to guide the development of geothermal wells.

At the 2024 IADC World Drilling Conference on 18 June in Madrid, DC spoke with Committee Chairman Scott Farmer, Helmerich & Payne Well Engineering Manager, about the motivations behind the establishment of the committee in November 2023. Mr Farmer also discusses ongoing efforts to refine the classification system, as well as opportunities for collaboration with other organizations to help advance geothermal drilling.
