Just tell us about yourself and we’ll figure out the best option for you or your company.
We combine deep geological and reservoir engineering expertise with cutting-edge digital tools. Our integrated approach covers the entire project lifecycle—from identifying the right subsurface heat resource to optimizing real-time drilling and navigating complex regulatory pathways—all enhanced by AI-driven insights.
We support the full spectrum: conventional high-temperature hydrothermal projects, Next Generation Geothermal Systems (AGS/EGS), district energy systems, and direct-use heating and cooling applications. Our expertise is in de-risking the subsurface component critical to them all.
It provides a go/no-go framework. It integrates our Resource Assessment & Characterization with Engineering Design & Scenarios (well type, plant size), Environmental & Regulatory Screening, Economic & Financial Modeling (CAPEX/OPEX), and Risk Assessment & Mitigation Roadmap. The final deliverable is a comprehensive report, supported by maps, cross-sections, well designs, financial models in Excel, and a clear executive summary for decision-makers and investors.
We assist with the entire permitting lifecycle: subsurface resource rights and leases, environmental impact assessments (EIA), seismic monitoring plans, injection well (Class V) permits with the EPA or state agencies, geothermal unitization agreements, and compliance with state utility or energy regulations.
To maximize value. In EGS projects, we steer to stay within the target rock volume for effective stimulation. For AGS systems, we target high thermal conductivity while maintaining optimal well spacing and toe-toe intersections. Precise well placement is critical for achieving design temperature and flow rates.
Contact us for an initial Geothermal Concept Review. Share your location and any existing data. We’ll provide a high-level assessment of the potential, recommend a path forward (e.g., data acquisition, feasibility study), and outline a clear scope and proposal to de-risk your next decision.
We serve a wide range of partners, including: developers scouting new greenfield sites, utilities diversifying their portfolios, oil & gas companies transitioning their subsurface skills, investors conducting due diligence, and public agencies planning district heating networks.
Just like in oil and gas, a “play” is a geographic area with a specific set of geological conditions promising for a resource. We screen regions for the key elements of a geothermal play: heat source, permeable reservoir rock, effective seal, and fluid recharge. We prioritize areas with the best combination of temperature and (conductivity or permeability) and depth.
The drivers are different. For power, we model against electricity market prices and incentives (e.g., tax credits). For direct heat, we model against the cost of alternative fuels (e.g., natural gas) and the capital cost of the distribution network. Our framing clarifies the specific value proposition and break-even points for each use case.
While we are not financiers or lawyers, our technical and economic framing is foundational for successful applications. We provide the robust resource assessments, feasibility studies, and project designs required when applying for DOE grants, tax credits (e.g., ITC/PTC), and negotiating power purchase agreements (PPAs) or heat offtake contracts.
It’s incredibly valuable. Millions of oil & gas wells contain temperature data and detailed rock properties. Our AI systems are experts at “geothermal repurposing”—extracting and analyzing this data to build regional geothermal models, identifying warm anomalies, and highlighting potential reservoir zones, often at a fraction of the cost of new exploration.
We tailor our engagement. Exploration & Feasibility work is typically scoped as a fixed-price project. Regulatory Support & Geosteering are often offered on a daily or monthly rate. AI-Enabled Knowledge Operations is a scalable subscription or project-based service. We are always transparent with our pricing structure upfront.
We are built for flexibility. You can engage us for a discrete task (e.g., a feasibility study for a specific site) or for integrated, full-scope support. Many clients start with a screening or framing study and then expand our role as the project advances.
We integrate diverse datasets: public geological and heat-flow maps, satellite data (for fault and surface anomaly detection), legacy well logs (for temperature and rock properties), seismic data (where available), and geochemical data from springs or wells. Our AI tools are backed by expert human oversight, ensuring accurate synthesis of these often-disparate data sources.
Absolutely. Drilling is the major cost and risk. Our models explicitly include dry hole or low-productivity well risks, along with sensitivity to drilling cost overruns. We help you understand the economic impact of subsurface outcomes and plan contingency strategies.
Yes, absolutely. Our geosteering and operational expertise is substrate-agnostic. Whether the target is a shale pay zone, a geothermal reservoir, or a closed-loop lateral, the core principles of real-time geological navigation, hazard avoidance, and precision wellbore placement remain the same.
Completely. Data security and intellectual property protection are fundamental. We operate under strict NDAs and can deploy our AI tools within your own secure IT environment. Your reservoir data, well designs, and performance metrics remain exclusively yours.
