geothermal energy

Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico have formed the Mountain West Geothermal Consortium to turn geothermal energy into gigawatts of baseload power.

US Energy Information Administration data sees the country’s energy production jump 3.4% over 2024 levels. Additionally, the EIA predicts industrial natural gas consumption to hit records in 2026 and 2027.

The collaboration aims to provide a dedicated land rig for geothermal wells in the US.

AI‑driven data center growth is straining US power grids and accelerating interest in enhanced geothermal systems as a scalable, low‑carbon solution.

A multidimensional Wiener process approach predicts casing remaining useful life, enabling safe, cost-effective well life extension and repurposing for carbon dioxide injection, CCS, and geothermal applications.
