Geothermal energy
The GRMS system of standardization and classification for geothermal resources, led by a coalition of stakeholders in collaboration with Project InnerSpace and the Society of Petroleum Engineers, will be published in November.
After years of market shocks, technological breakthroughs, and rising uncertainty, ATCE 2026 will provide new insights on how industry leaders and technical experts are preparing for the next era of the upstream business.
This guest editorial examines why geothermal projects require a different planning, financing, and development approach than traditional oil and gas projects.
-
The closing date for the ESP tender for the UK’s first geothermal power plant is in early February. -
The cutting-edge technological developments in geothermal are devoted to drilling into deeper, hotter, and harder rock. Oil and gas expertise and know-how holds the key to cost reduction.
-
A Canadian company reports that it has drilled and completed a historic horizontal well in Saskatchewan.
-
Extending and transferring the high-temperature capabilities of existing E&P technologies could make geothermal energy development possible—and scalable—anywhere in the world.
-
The new geothermal project development company will offer expertise in subsurface and drilling, project development, and risk mitigation.
-
Researchers at OU have received $2.5 million of US Department of Energy funding for a three-phase study to develop technologies to increase power production from geothermal wells. The geothermal development research site in Southern California sits on the US Navy’s largest single landholding.
-
Nearly 90% of geothermal capacity built since 2000 is binary cycle.
-
Oil and gas are not the only things in the ground that can power our lives. Heat in the form of geothermal energy is rapidly taking its place alongside other sources of renewable energy, buoyed by the lessons learned from decades of drilling for oil.
-
Geothermal power offers enormous potential—an inexhaustible supply heat to drive huge electric plants around the clock—but that extreme heat can quickly kill conventional hardware, which led to something new.
-
A Canadian research organization believes the country’s oilfield technology could help another energy sector drive down its costs and it may work out for heavy oil producers too.
