The US Department of Energy said it is making available $171.5 million to support field-scale tests for geothermal electricity generation and exploration drilling.

This paper provides an account of the design, implementation, and operational insights from an enhanced geothermal system proppant stimulation targeting a volcanic, dry rock setting with an approximately 330°C bottomhole temperature.

This study evaluates the feasibility of drilling a closed-loop, unconventional geothermal system in the Pannonian Basin basement of Romania.

The authors describe the effectiveness of an electromagnetic look-ahead service while drilling in terms of providing accurate formation profiles ahead of the bit to optimize geostopping efficiency.

This paper describes modeling work performed to design fracturing treatment and spacing for wells in the Project Cape enhanced geothermal system in Utah.

From its origins running just a few light bulbs in Tuscany in 1904 to supporting baseloads on national power grids today, geothermal power generation has been driven by technological advancements. Many of these advancements stem from oil and gas exploration and production efforts.

The appraisal well in Utah confirmed a geothermal resource exceeding 555°F at a depth of approximately 11,200 ft.

The NLR has released its 2025 US Geothermal Market Report, documenting 4 years of industry growth and providing policymakers and stakeholders with an updated overview of the US geothermal market.

This study identifies critical knowledge gaps in wellbore integrity and underscores areas that require further investigation, providing insights into how wellbores must evolve to meet the technical demands of the energy transition.

Experience in subsurface production and lift design is shaping a new generation of geothermal operations built for reliability and scalability.
