R&D/innovation
With funding opportunities improving, developers and researchers are focused on shortening project learning cycles and reducing uncertainty to attract more capital and speed deployment.
The US Department of Energy has awarded more than $99 million to 21 projects that will advance geothermal development through field-scale testing of next-generation technologies and exploration drilling programs across the US.
By integrating reservoir simulation, probabilistic seismic hazard and risk assessment, and machine learning, this study provides a practical framework for translating complex geoscientific research into evidence-based policy and field operations, achieving measurable reductions in seismic risk indicators in the Groningen gas field.
