Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) is my jam. As is geology, climate science, STEM, baking & kayaking. Tweets are my own-retweets are not endorsements

We're giving new life to abandoned oil and gas wells. By leveraging existing infrastructure, we’re lowering costs & reducing development timelines to explore using geothermal energy to power schools & rural EV charging stations. https://t.co/hevOBkWzzY

Another 1,000 ft gained for a total of 7,390 ft of measured depth (reaching just over 7,030 ft TVD) taking the drilling out of the curve and into the tangent section of the well.

We are now about half way into the well at 5,500 ft of the 11,000 ft planned. Currently running an 18hr temperature survey so we take a moment to appreciate the amazing sunset in the Milford Valley. For more details follow here: https://t.co/QR6QoJp97i

@SandiaLabs @PNNLab @LosAlamosNatLab @BerkeleyLab @ORNL @Livermore_Lab @NREL @INL Have any of our AI / Machine Learning experts at the National Labs seen this data set? Seems like an opportunity to identify patterns that could help us understand #covid19 #OpenData @jonweers

Got wells? We’re interested in identifying unused deep wells for geothermal research and experimentation! Respond now! This has nothing to do with Demogorgons. https://t.co/5apE1sfQCP

[Daniel R Simmons @DanSimmonsEERE]

It’s been 1 year since EERE selected the @UUtah to run the FORGE field laboratory, a site dedicated to research on enhanced geothermal systems, or man-made geothermal reservoirs. Watch the video from @UtahEnergy to see what’s heating up with FORGE 👉 https://t.co/RCyBJztt1O

@ENERGY just announced the release of the #Geothermal Technologies Office #GeoVision Study. It shows that #geothermal can support up to 60 GW by 2050...a 26-fold increase over what’s available in the US right now! #EGS
