Geofluid is the showcase of the technological evolution in the following sectors: exploration and exploitation of underground fluids, special foundations and consolidations, geological surveys, and geological, hydrogeological, geophysical, and geotechnical applications. Once every two years, the event hosts thousands visitors and hundreds exhibitors from leading companies belonging to the drilling sector, who aim to reach the maximum visibility.
Besides the exhibition, leading associations, institutions and universities organized the workshop entitled “Geothermal exchange”, in cooperation with IAH and ANIPA associations. This workshop was attended by about 200 people and included two sessions during which specialists and experts triggered discussion about the contribution of hydrogeology in the sustainable management of groundwater resources in hydrothermal areas. This initiative represented an important opportunity for professional development, introducing innovative technologies and anticipating market trends.
