This year’s edition of the International Geomechanics Conference will return to its home ground in the Middle East, proudly hosted by Saudi Aramco. The event will bring together the brightest minds in geomechanics for an unparalleled exchange of knowledge, innovation, and collaboration. This conference marks a bold step forward in fostering interdisciplinary connections and driving cutting-edge advancements in geomechanics research, practice, and education. 
 

IGS 2025 will be a dynamic hub for addressing global and regional geomechanics challenges, centered around the theme Geomechanics: Innovations and Solutions for Energy Sustainability and Resilience. This theme reflects the growing importance of geomechanics in addressing modern energy demands and challenges, including applications in hydrocarbon, mining, geothermal, carbon sequestration, hydrogen, subsurface energy storage, geotechnics, environment, and deep space.

Focus Areas in this Edition:
  • Multiphysics coupling (thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical processes) for energy applications such as CCS, hydrogen storage, mineral mining, geothermal reservoirs, energy extraction, and environment. 
  • Advanced numerical modeling for fault reactivation, wellbore stability, and fracture mechanics under extreme conditions. 
  • Dynamic behaviors of subsurface materials under various loading and environmental conditions. 
  • Digital geomechanics & AI-driven modeling integrating big data, machine learning, and computational techniques for predictive geomechanics. 
  • Sustainability and risk management through geomechanical solutions for decarbonization, net-zero goals, and hazard mitigation.

The recipe for a successful conference includes a rich program covering the latest trends. However, no conference is truly great without a gathering of top specialists in the field. That’s why I warmly encourage all geomechanics enthusiasts to join us in Al Khobar. IGS is the place where geomechanicists have a lot of fun!
