geothermal energy

Growing energy transition investment highlights oil and gas technologies as key enablers.

The global oilfield service company is working with Ormat Technologies to boost its integrated geothermal business.

The freely accessible online platform is the latest in a series of maps designed to reveal the continent’s untapped geothermal potential.

The company announced that its geothermal system operated for more than 3,000 hours, which it said validates the technology’s commercial potential.

The oilfield service company will supply power plants capable of electrifying 180,000 US homes with geothermal energy.

The fifth edition of the SPE Europe Energy GeoHackathon, beginning on 1 October, focuses on how data science can advance geothermal energy and drive the energy transition.

Traditionally, the drilling industry has relied on high-fidelity thermal simulators to predict downhole temperature for different operational scenarios. Though accurate, these models are too slow for real-time applications. To overcome this limitation, a deep-learning solution is proposed that enables fast, accurate prediction of downhole temperatures under a wide ran…

This paper details efforts in 2024 at the Utah Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy field laboratory to explore the feasibility of hydraulically fracturing thermally conductive granite formations to create an enhanced geothermal system.

The emergency permitting rules aim to accelerate geothermal energy development. Ormat Technologies' three Nevada projects will be the first to benefit from the streamlined process, with environmental reviews cut from years to weeks.

Using emergency procedures, the permitting timeline is expected to be significantly reduced, from years to weeks in some cases.
