Oxy’s Geothermal Limitless Approach to Drilling Efficiencies (GLADE) project worked to reduce total cycle time of drilling hard, hot, basement rock, from spud to total depth, by drilling twin geothermal wells.

Sandia National Laboratories’ Office of Geothermal-funded project at Steptoe Valley, Nevada, evaluated a stratigraphic geothermal resource using geophysical imaging.

Montana State University’s research on Thermally Induced Calcite Precipitation (TICP) in enhanced geothermal systems project investigates ways to control the location and magnitude of associated permeability reduction within EGS fracture networks.

The Geysers Power Company and its partners leveraged innovative drilling technology and methodologies from the Office of Geothermal-funded FORGE site to improve drilling rates for geothermal wells.

The Office of Geothermal-funded and National Laboratory of the Rockies-led DE-risking Exploration of geothermal Plays in magmatic Environments (DEEPEN) project aims to advance geothermal energy drilling systems into superhot rock.

OE supports grid system research to strengthen grid resilience, help mitigate grid disturbances through faster system response and recovery, and integrate renewable energy and distributed energy resources

By 2035, microgrids are envisioned to be essential building blocks of the future electricity delivery system to support resilience, decarbonization, and affordability.
