DOE is proposing to provide funding to Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations (Baker Hughes) to develop geothermal-specific drilling technology for measuring downhole with a transmitter, power system, electronics, and navigation system. A NEPA determination for Phase 1 of this project (GFO-0005505-001) was signed on December 15, 2011. Baker Hughes passed a Go/No-Go decision to move into Phase 2. This NEPA determination applies to Phase 2, except for the proposed field testing activities.
