Geothermal energy now stands out as a reliable, low-carbon solution in the transition to a balanced energy mix. While conventional geothermal systems rely on specific geological conditions, such as ...

Dilution-based dual-gradient drilling (DGD) reduces casing strings and drilling costs while increasing hole size at total depth by injecting mud down an artificially-created annulus with a different ...

Sandia National Laboratories researchers have used computer models of closed-loop geothermal systems to determine if they would be economically viable sources of renewable energy. They found that the ...
