Energy transition
The company’s millimeter wave drilling system is approaching a depth of 1 km at its Central Texas site. The recent funding is earmarked for Project Obsidian in Central Oregon, which Quaise calls the world’s first commercial superhot geothermal power plant.
This study applies Monte Carlo simulation and an XGBoost regression model to assess the influence of various formations, geologic provinces, tectonic-plate types, and boundary conditions on hydrogen concentrations.
This guest editorial addresses the need for high-temperature directional drilling technologies as the number of rigs used to develop next-generation geothermal wells is set to rise in the coming years.

Recent decisions by US market regulators reflect growing pressure on the largest US oil producers to back up emissions targets with more detailed strategies through disclosures. -
As clean energy technology gains ground, a new energy security concern is taking center stage. Where once national security officials watched oil supplies, they are now tracking the production of minerals such as cobalt, indium, and neodymium used in the manufacturing of batteries, solar panels, and wind turbines.
