Geothermal energy
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.

A decade ago, SPE defined key R&D and technology challenges for the industry. To address the more uncertain environment of the 2020s and beyond, we have updated the grand challenges via a January 2023 SPE workshop. -
Putting into action an agreement signed in 2022, the companies will collaborate on the project to test the emerging technology for producing geothermal energy.
-
Premier Corex and Teverra will be combining their efforts to aggregate data for companies involved in large-scale geothermal projects.
-
The consortium will leverage the oil and gas industry's 100+ years of experience and technological developments in drilling and subsurface engineering to advance geothermal.
-
The large US shale producer has officially entered into the renewable energy sector with its largest venture investment yet.
-
Two US test sites have fractured hot, dry rock with plans to create a network of fractures for water heating. They will soon find out if the fractures worked as expected.
-
Fracturing hot rock to create a geological water-heating system is like fracturing an oil well, but for a different purpose, so is proppant really necessary?
-
When confronted by extremely hot wells drilled into hard rock, engineers start looking for new tools and then ask, is there a cheaper option?
-
Geothermal energy is bidding to emerge from its dark horse status in Texas and become a possible solution of choice for some renewable applications.
-
New funding aims to launch up to seven pilots to help expand the deployment of enhanced geothermal systems.
