Energy transition
This guest editorial addresses the many capacities in which oil and gas technical professionals can play a role advancing the energy technologies of tomorrow.
With millions of wells having been drilled in the US since the beginning of the oil age, the land is pocked with old, unused wellbores. For most, repurposing is a pipe dream. Plugging is the best option.
The DOE-backed EGS-Twin project aims to simulate geothermal production systems, helping operators better predict performance and maximize output.

The collaboration aims to provide a dedicated land rig for geothermal wells in the US.
-
The Houston-based enhanced geothermal developer scored $1.9 billion in an initial public offering, positioning it to expand projects in Utah and Nevada.
-
AI‑driven data center growth is straining US power grids and accelerating interest in enhanced geothermal systems as a scalable, low‑carbon solution.
-
Three wind projects planned to produce around 300 MW have entered the execution phase under a partnership with OMV Petrom and RNV Infrastructure.
-
The US Department of Energy and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection will convert a horizontal Utica Shale gas well into an enhanced geothermal system. Building directly on horizontal drilling and completion practices developed in the Utica, the project will include evaluation of optimal well orientation, lateral placement, and spacing.
-
Fervo Energy and Vallourec have signed a 5‑year supply agreement to support large‑scale deployment of next‑generation geothermal across the US, establishing a fully domestic supply chain for geothermal well components.
