Geothermal energy
The DOE-backed EGS-Twin project aims to simulate geothermal production systems, helping operators better predict performance and maximize output.
New geothermal technical content and programming will highlight knowledge transfer among oil and gas and geothermal professionals.
Winners of Alberta's Drilling Technology Challenge cover a range of technologies from robotics to enhance drilling rig safety to AI-enabled energy management, downhole sensing, well navigation, hybrid power systems, and geothermal energy.

Chevron and Occidental plan to launch separate projects to help secure the commercial future of geothermal development in the US. -
The oilfield service giant has identified the nation's potential geothermal sweet spots after analyzing data from more than 7,000 wells.
-
Geothermal energy has the potential to play a significant role in Japan's energy transition.
-
The Biden administration seeks to cut the cost of enhanced geothermal systems by 90% by 2035.
-
Using CO2 as the geothermal power fluid to generate electricity from low-temperature abandoned hydrocarbon wells can help reduce well costs and optimize energy production. In this paper, a previously developed coupled well/reservoir model is extended to study the effects of fluid properties on thermal output.
-
Hitting the next well during fracturing happens all the time. Predictably doing that on a large scale in granite looks a lot harder.
-
The drilling of wells in shale and granite shares a common need—faster drilling is required to make it work.
-
Founded in 2008, GA Drilling is developing plasma-based tools to achieve drilling speeds that are about three times faster than what conventional bit technology has historically achieved.
-
Criterion Energy Partners' immediate focus is to deliver direct heat and power to industrial customers in the Texas Gulf Coast region.
-
The two companies will work to retrofit nonproducing wells for geothermal production and scale GreenFire Energy’s closed-loop advanced geothermal systems.
