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