Call for Papers – Celle Drilling 2026 launches with an expanded format
The call for papers is now open for Celle Drilling 2026, taking place on 15-16 September, and will be held in both English and German for the first time.
This year, the International Conference for Advanced Drilling Technology, otherwise known as “Celle Drilling”, will be held in both English and German for the first time. This marks a shift from the conference’s previous format, which was conducted exclusively in English, and allows it to specifically target an even broader specialist audience.
The call for papers is currently open. Abstracts can still be submitted in either language until 30 April. Please visit the official event website to submit your abstracts.
The conference, taking place on 15 and 16 September 2026 in Celle, Germany, will serve as a networking hub for the industry. Experts from academia and industry will meet in Celle to discuss the future of drilling technology. As such, Celle Drilling 2026 is also the ideal venue for networking with colleagues and business partners.
For the first time, exhibitors and sponsors will have the opportunity to showcase technical innovations or new products not only in the accompanying exhibition, but also in presentations. Following Celle Drilling 2026, a conference proceedings volume will also be compiled for the first time, in which speakers may opt to publish their papers. This year’s Celle Drilling is organised in partnership with Clausthal University of Technology.
The conference brings together international experts with the aim of accelerating the transfer of knowledge, technology and projects, and also of driving geothermal energy implementation forward. Celle Drilling covers the following topics:
- Drilling Technology
- Drilling Process
- Innovative Drilling Methods
- Case Studies and Best Practice
- Geothermal Wells and Technology
Abstracts may be submitted on topics such as: fundamental processes in drilling operations, wellbore integrity, innovations in wellbore measurement technology and AI-supported data acquisition and analysis, experimental/mathematical modelling of processes in the wellbore, geothermal applications, and innovative wellbore tools.
Celle Drilling 2026 offers a dedicated platform for international exchange on these and related topics.
