EAGE Workshop on Geothermal Energy in Latin America
We are delighted to extend an invitation to the Third EAGE Workshop on Geothermal Energy in Latin America, as part of the technical programme of this conference.
Following the success of our previous workshops, this year's objective is to share experiences and lessons learned during Geothermal Resources exploration, development and exploitation stages, in order to establish appropriate practices for commercial uses of geothermal resources in the Americas. In the climate change context, geothermal energy has the potential to contribute to sustainable developing as a clean renewable energy source
Geothermal resources represent a solid clean energy alternative, on the way to creating green economies in Latin America. This region has a high potential for this energy resource, which would allow to satisfy its demand in combination with other clean energies, while generating energy independence and economic development in the region.

Submission Guidelines
Anti-Plagiarism Statement
EAGE invites the presentation of new and original material in a range of multi-disciplinary topics in Geoscience and Engineering. EAGE takes plagiarism very seriously. Therefore, if an extended abstract or paper, after careful review, examination and consideration, is rejected on the basis of plagiarism, all authors of the abstract/paper will be denied the opportunity for further abstract submissions for the following three years. Note that this means that no abstracts/papers from any of the authors (as author or co-author on subsequent papers) will be accepted for any EAGE event (Annual Meeting or Workshop) for a period of three years starting on the date of the event for which the paper was originally submitted.
AI Generated Content for Papers
EAGE acknowledges the use of generative AI tools, like ChatGPT, Bard, etc, in research publications, books, articles and abstracts. However, some concerns have been raised about these tools and therefore EAGE has some rules in place. Refer to the EAGE statement on AI generated content for papers for more details.
Publication
The accepted extended abstract is published on EarthDoc, which is an official EAGE publications, as submitted. Badly written extended abstracts not only reflect poorly on the authors, but also on the association. Many more people read the accepted extended abstracts than those attending the presentation. Therefore, EAGE will only consider properly written and informative extended abstracts that are submitted in line with the template instructions. Authors are encouraged to submit their material for publication in one of the journals of the association. Acceptance for the conference does not guarantee acceptance for publication in one of the journals.
Cancellation Information
In case authors want to withdraw their abstracts please adhere to the following deadlines:
Withdrawal of abstracts before 3 November 2024: your abstract will be removed from EarthDoc.
Cancellations of presentations after 3 November 2024 may be considered as a no-show and you risk being disqualified from presenting at all EAGE events for the next 3 years. Please note: EAGE cannot be held liable for any loss, damage, direct, indirect or consequential damage as a result of withdrawal, removal or non-removal of the abstract in any way.
Selection Process
The Selection Committee will consider all extended abstracts submitted to the EAGE Head Office by 1 August 2024 23:59 hrs (GMT +1) and authors will be notified by the middle of August 2024. The technical programme selection meeting has then taken place and the technical programme with definite session titles and presentation allocation is composed.
Each extended abstract will be reviewed by at least 2 referees prior to the technical programme selection meeting. The selection process is no formality, on average 1 out of every 4 submitted extended abstracts is rejected!
The extended abstracts must be relevant to the Workshop Topics. Authors are strongly requested to indicate the topic under which their extended abstract should be evaluated by the referees.
Presentations
EAGE cannot make any contributions toward coverage of expenses relating to the presentation.
Conferences Template
Titles should be short (max. 16 words, longer titles will be cut off) and relevant. Extended abstracts must be in English, original and not have appeared in any other publication.
A summary of the extended abstract (max. 200 words) must be submitted as well.
The body of the extended abstract needs to be two to four (2-4) full pages in length, paper size A4. Shorter sized abstracts will not be included in the review process and therefore be rejected. The extended abstract should consist of text and appropriate figures supporting the key message. The text should contain at least one figure and include references. Extended abstracts of text alone are unacceptable.
Please do not use more than 1 column for text, do not frame the text, and please upload the body of your extended abstract as one document with embedded figures.
A good extended abstract set in the Conference Template consists of an introduction, the main description of theory or method broken down as appropriate and illustrated with figures, conclusions, optional acknowledgements and references. It should reflect work that is actually completed at the time of submission and not plans or ideas that are still taking shape in the mind of the author or research that is still highly immature.
The extended abstract must concentrate in itself the essential information of the presentation: purpose, methods, results and conclusions. It should be an abbreviated, informative, accurate representation of the presentation and not a mere recital of the subjects to be covered.
Template usage:
- Do not make a cover page for your extended abstract. EAGE will make this for you with the title, authors and summary. Therefore, do not include this information in the body text of your extended abstract.
- Start the body text of your extended abstract directly under the EAGE logo.
- Use font ‘Times New Roman 11pts’ with single line spacing. Set the alignment as justified and use the standard Word outline level (body text).
- Use 2,54 cm (1”) for top, bottom, left and right margin.
Number the figures sequentially, according to their appearance in the text, and check that each figure is cited in the text.
Supply a short caption for each figure; more detailed discussion of the figure can be reserved for the text. Further information about the use of figure captions and figure numbering can be found in the First Break guidance for authors.
