Fervo Energy doubling down on geothermal

Fervo Energy, a Houston-based startup, is on a mission to significantly increase the share of geothermal energy in the United States, aiming for around 20% of the country's power supply. Using innovative drilling techniques borrowed from the oil and gas industry, Fervo digs deep into the Earth, reaching depths of approximately 8,000 feet. From there, it creates horizontal tunnels extending about 3,000 feet, forming loops where water is added to generate steam. This steam then drives turbines, producing electricity. In late 2023, Fervo Energy launched its first power plant in the desert of northern Nevada, in collaboration with Google, which has invested in the company as part of its commitment to achieve carbon neutrality by the end of the decade. While solar and wind energy sources are abundant and cost-effective, they lack the consistent output of dispatchable electricity provided by hydropower, hydrogen, and nuclear sources.... > read more

ExxonMobil leads

Recent consolidation activity in the energy sector has led to the emergence of larger companies with increased ownership of producing assets, as highlighted by the Energy Information Administration. According to data cited by the EIA from Evaluate Energy, if both the proposed deals involving Exxon and Chevron are finalized successfully, ExxonMobil could potentially become the largest producer of crude oil and natural gas liquids in the United States. The company's projected output could reach approximately 1.3 million barrels per day, constituting nearly 7 percent of the total U.S. production. This would position ExxonMobil ahead of the current leader in production, Chevron.... > read more

Weyerhaeuser and Lapis Energy announce

Weyerhaeuser Company and Lapis Energy LP have recently announced the signing of an exclusive exploration agreement for subsurface carbon dioxide sequestration in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. This agreement covers 187,500 acres of subsurface rights owned by Weyerhaeuser and encompasses five potential sequestration sites, including two locations previously identified by Weyerhaeuser as promising opportunities for carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) development. During the two-year exclusive agreement, Lapis will assess the sequestration potential of each site. Once the technical and commercial evaluations are successfully completed, Lapis will have the option to advance the sites into full-scale development agreements. This will involve obtaining the necessary permits, constructing the facilities, and operating permanent CO2 sequestration sites that cater to large-scale industrial sources... > read more
