A new bipartisan bill in the US seeks to establish and support a framework for research and testing of supercritical geothermal technologies. 🙌 Supercritical geothermal ♨, sometimes referred to as superhot rock energy, is a category of enhanced geothermal systems that requires deep drilling technologies to access dry rocks at temperatures around 400°C or greater, that can supply about five to ten times more energy per well 👏 compared to conventional hydrothermal systems. 👀 Read more here ➡️: https://lnkd.in/dvBnWN4z #US #Geothermal #GeothermalDevelopment #Technology #SuperHotGeothermal #Legislation

The infographic below is a good illustration of the difference between current (conventional) hydrothermal systems and superhot rock geothermal. Next-generation geothermal (EGS and AGS) is basically the same as superhot rock geothermal, except that it doesn't go down to such depths.

Daily #Geothermal post: Last of this current series on Australia, a look back at one of the most important prior geothermal exploration and testing projects in the country. The Habanero Project in the Cooper Basin of South Australia targeted deep, over-pressured granite formations that had been found to have very high temperatures ~230-264degC. Existing fracture and fault systems were identified and used for early EGS production trials to produce geothermal energy. Unfortunately insufficient enthalpy was able to be produced to the surface as these existing fracture and fault systems proved inadequate heat circulation paths. So an excellent geothermal resource was found and geologically investigated, but better technology solutions have had to wait until recent FORGE-Utah and Fervo-Nevada projects have demonstrated that new manmade fracture systems were required to deliver the enthalpy production needed for significant EGS energy production. Hopefully these Innamincka granites will be revisited as Australia's geothermal industry is having a resurgence.

Synergies between Geological Hydrogen and Geothermal Energy There exists a convergence of known geothermal resources and also known hydrogen observations in specific geologic settings. These tend to be volcanic, magmatic and hydrothermal settings, and in these settings there is no shortage of natural occurring processes that are capable of generating hydrogen. Most of these processes involve iron containing minerals in contact with water at elevated temperatures, typically above 200 degrees C and there is a significant amount of alignment in terms of the critical factors necessary for geothermal (hydrothermal), and geologic hydrogen resources.  Essentially what it comes down to it, it's water-rock interaction over a period of time that is then coupled with a potential for fluid entrapment and preservation, and at high temperature. That is the key for geologic hydrogen resources, and in turn these are also factors that converge in the formation hydrothermal aquifers.  In nature hydrothermal aquifers and geologic hydrogen, are commonly bridged. Geologic hydrogen has the potential for increasing the value of a geothermal project.  Hydrogen will play a critical role going forward to meet goals for Net Zero and there are clearly extensive synergies between geologic hydrogen and geothermal resources. #geologichydrogen #naturalhydrogen #geothermal #geothermalenergy #drilling #oilandgas #sustainablearth https://lnkd.in/ddvMefPG

A new study 💡, “Permeability partitioning through the brittle-to-ductile transition and its implications for supercritical geothermal reservoirs” by Meyer et al, indicates that fractures can be created beyond the brittle-ductile transition, making important implications relevant to superhot rock geothermal ♨️. This guest article by Elizabeth Thomson, correspondent for Quaise Energy, discusses the implications of the results of this study in terms of challenging long-standing beliefs on permeability and what this means for the utilization of superhot rock geothermal energy. 🙌 Read more here ➡️: https://lnkd.in/dM3hjmVB #Geothermal #GeothermalDevelopment #SuperHotRock #Reservoir #Research #Sustainability

Gotta love MMJ (Medical Marijuana) mind recovery memory abilities. Utilizing the medical benefits of MMJ, AKA: just took a rip off Delta State, SUDDEN MEMORY BURST of MISSION BEACH MORNING with Jacques. MORNING WALK and ME holding and JACQUES THE BEACH DOG — Vernon Hoxie and Coach K’s white toy poodle. and way of the future that’s not already amongst us. Met a geothermal guy walking on Mission Beach back in those days. I’ll find a picture. He was a regular Mission Beach morning walker. Geothermal was like WOW (Watch Out World) at OTC this year. FACEBOOK PROFILE PICTURE ALBUM of me holding Jacques. In the picture, downnto the left an in the surfnisna GEOTHERMAL ENGINEERING EXTRRAORDINAIRE!! My Signature Greeting was G’s Signature Greeting. Dropping to one knee out of nowhere and throwing-up a high-five if anyone around the world was in San Diego’s VACATION DESTINATION of Mission Beach, California and ever heard about a crazy oil man. Same guy, y’all. I would love getting that GEOTHERMAL ENGINEER right there’s professional opinion about the IP Theft, y’all. It’s pasy court. It’s just a…look what goodni’m doing with what little inhabe while fighting SCRUBS and overcoming the social stigma of the upper holding the more vulerable away from success. Anyone know that guy? Cool dude…slow gated paced jog. It’s all about those STEEL PIPES VALVES and FITTINGS and the transporting that Energy. Let me check back here right quick. Since STEEL pipe is used transport all forms of ENERGY, can you…NO!! How many different avenues of entry, we feel IP Theft was committed by Murphy Oil Corporation via Murphy USA utilizing my one-of-a-kind specialized approach to marketing, proven sales experiences and relationship building and business developmet FUN ENERGY building activites leading to dallars and cents changing hands…$1.1 Billion…what, $900,000,000 cash…and Murphy’s still making money off that. What i sued them for was a deal…$10,000,000,000 billion and some chump change…millions.
