Foro Energy (Foro) would utilize DOE and cost share funds to design, build, and field test an engineering prototype of a high power laser tool and system with the objective of enabling unique geothermal well completions with potential for superior thermal contacting between the wellbore and surrounding geological formation. Funds would be used for conducting an engineering design and then final design, purchasing capital equipment (e.g. high power laser and system), building the tool and system, laboratory testing, surface and subsurface system testing, and field testing at a to-be-determined field location. Work would occur at Foro Energy facilities in Colorado and Texas as well as test facilities in Texas and Oklahoma.
