The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Fervo Energy Company (FEC) to develop, prototype, and field test an upgraded ball drop frac plug to meet the high-temperature and pressure requirements of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). The proposed project was selected under Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) DE-FOA-0001945 to support early-stage development of EGS zonal isolation tools and technologies. Projects selected from this FOA are structured into multiple Budget Periods (BP) separated by a Go/No-Go decision aimed at readying the proposed technology for potential field testing.
