Great example of where US can lead via commercialization. Deploying EGS here, where we have the comparative advantage in subsurface development, will unlock international opportunities (tech transfer + resource discovery, etc)

Should be feet, not “metres.” But our drilling team really is good, so watch this space and we’ll keep working on it.

The Economist brings the goods here:

Geothermal energy looks set to go from niche to necessary Competition between startups including Fervo Energy, Eavo and XGS Energy is hotting up. 2026 looks set to mark the start of the great geothermal renaissance

“Pioneers of “enhanced geothermal” techniques believe they can apply innovations from the shale industry, such as fracking and multilateral drilling, to enable geothermal almost anywhere. At the forefront is Fervo.”

Honestly this is good to see, if not addressed now, reckless e-biking (esp class 3 and modified class 2) are going to ruin it for everyone.

The provisions currently being considered by the House would be problematic for geothermal and all new clean firm. I don't think that's the full intention of Congress, so I'm optimistic we'll be able to fix as things move forward in the Senate, if not the House.

The policy analysis being done on advancing next-generation geothermal is really top notch. Huge appreciation to the smart people thinking hard about how to move the needle on EGS. The tech innovation is moving fast here and we need policy to keep up if we're going to meet the moment for clean firm:

Really good analysis by @csis.org on how tax policy is critical to accelerating next-generation geothermal. Particularly helpful to look at what has worked in the past for spurring the shale boom. EGS is following the playbook here, need to stay the course. www.csis.org/analysis/ira...

The geothermal gamble: Fervo’s bold bid to disrupt clean energy Once overlooked in the U.S. clean energy mix, geothermal is getting a high-tech overhaul in the Utah desert — and Fervo Energy is betting it can scale where others couldn’t.

“What we’re doing here is proving that a new kind of geothermal works, and this is basically ground zero for what technology we think is going to transform the energy sector here in the United States and then around the world.” - @timlatimer.bsky.social

Expand Lands 5.6-Miler in Appalachia in Five Days With One Bit Run Expand Energy reported its Shannon Fields OHI #3H in northern West Virginia was drilled with just one bit run in some 30,000 ft.

A 5.6 mile lateral and a single 30,000 foot bit run - wow. The US is very good at subsurface energy and EGS is just starting to take advantage of the O&G industry’s incredible track record of innovation. www.hartenergy.com/ep/exclusive...
