«Eavor-Deep» demonstration project has started
05.09.2022The «Eavor-Deep» project will be drilled in southwestern USA and will be the deepest and hottest directional geothermal well in history, according to Eavor Technologies, who has announced the commencement of their demonstration project.
Historically, the deeper and higher temperature the rock, the slower and more expensive drilling becomes. Eavor has developed process and technologies to break this paradigm, called Eavor-Loop, which will be utilized in the upcoming Eavor-Deep project, located in southwestern USA, to show linear, and potentially sublinear, drilling costs in super-hot ultra-deep environments.
The drilling site is located in southwestern USA.
Building from the portfolio of technologies and methods demonstrated in 2019, the milestones planned at Eavor-Deep are designed to evidence the global scalability of Eavor-Loop. John Redfern, President & CEO at Eavor, said: «If everything goes according to plan, we will establish a clear line-of-sight to less than 60 US Dollars per megawatt-hour costs. This is an important milestone which unlocks an enormous portfolio of Eavor-Loop project locations in key US, European and Asia Pacific markets, now.»
