Teverra and Permian Development Lab To Develop Texas Geothermal Landscape

Unveiling Tomorrow's Energy Solutions: Permian Energy Development Lab and Teverra Join Forces

By :Robert Buluma


In the vast expanse of the Permian Basin, where oil and innovation flow in equal measure, a groundbreaking partnership has emerged to redefine the future of energy. Enter the Permian Energy Development Lab (PEDL) and Teverra, two visionary entities united by a shared commitment to pioneering advanced energy solutions.

Hot off the press from the heart of Odessa, Texas, comes the announcement of a strategic alliance poised to revolutionize the energy landscape. With Teverra's expertise in geothermal energy, carbon storage, and cleaner oil and gas solutions, coupled with PEDL's dedication to research and collaboration, the stage is set for an electrifying journey towards sustainable energy.

Teverra, a trailblazing technology company, has already marked its territory with a recent triumph—a coveted contract with Colorado to conduct a sweeping analysis of geothermal resources statewide As earlier reported by our business intelligence department And that's just the tip of the iceberg. With a string of accolades from federal agencies and a penchant for innovation, Teverra stands at the forefront of the energy revolution.

Meanwhile, PEDL's momentum is equally palpable, having inked collaborations with SOLARCYCLE and the Roosevelt Firm. Their ambitious plans center around a cutting-edge test facility in Yoakum County, Texas, integrating a myriad of advanced energy technologies—from solar power to carbon capture and utilization. With a National Science Foundation grant fueling their aspirations, PEDL is poised to become the beating heart of innovation in the Permian Basin.

Marilu Hastings of PEDL articulates the significance of Teverra's involvement, emphasizing the pivotal role geothermal expertise plays in shaping the future of energy in Permian communities. Echoing this sentiment, Hamed Soroush, CEO of Teverra, champions the partnership as a gateway to an advanced, decarbonized energy economy—a vision shared by both entities.


But what exactly does this partnership entail? Brace yourself for an odyssey into the realms of subsurface energy storage, geothermal resource assessment, carbon capture, and hydrogen storage. With PEDL's network of researchers and Teverra's prowess in subsurface technologies, the possibilities are as boundless as the Permian horizon.

At its core, the partnership embodies collaboration in its purest form. Joint projects, grant pursuits, and knowledge exchange form the bedrock of this symbiotic relationship—each facet driving us closer to a sustainable energy utopia.

As the Permian Energy Development Lab and Teverra embark on this transformative journey, the energy sector braces itself for a seismic shift. With innovation as their compass and sustainability as their guiding star, they chart a course towards a future where energy knows no bounds.

To attest Teverra is amongst the main companies which are making the Geothermal decade to come to life

In the crucible of collaboration, where passion meets purpose, tomorrow's energy solutions are forged. And in the heart of the Permian, where oil flows and innovation thrives, the future of energy awaits its awakening.

Amsterdam Strikes Geothermal Gold: Hot, Thick, Permeable Reservoir Confirmed

Breakthrough Beneath the Beach: Amsterdam Region Hits Geothermal Paydirt at Strandeiland By: Robert Buluma The Netherlands just took a giant leap toward fossil-free heating. On the artificial island of Strandeiland (part of Amsterdam’s fast-growing IJburg district), the SCAN exploration well has officially confirmed what the geothermal community has been hoping for: a thick, hot, and , most importantly permeable reservoir in the Slochteren Formation. Key numbers that matter:   Reservoir thickness: 152 meters   Bottom-hole temperature: 66 °C   Permeability: confirmed via successful production and injection tests   That’s not screaming-hot by Icelandic standards, but for direct-use district heating in one of Europe’s densest urban areas, 66 °C is more than enough to supply thousands of homes with clean, baseload heat – forever. Why This Well Changes Everything for the Netherlands The Dutch government launched the SCAN program (Seismic Campaign Nethe...

Vulcan Energy's G-LEP Plant in Landau Paves the Way for Europe's Sustainable Lithium Revolution

Breaking Ground: Vulcan Energy's G-LEP Plant in Landau Paves the Way for Europe's Sustainable Lithium Revolution By: Robert Buluma In the heart of Germany's Rhineland-Palatinate region, a groundbreaking ceremony marked the laying of the foundation stone for the first optimized Geothermal and Lithium Extraction Plant (G-LEP) in Landau, spearheaded by Vulcan Energy Resources, an Australian-German company. As Petra Dick-Walther, State Secretary in the Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, and Mobility of Rhineland-Palatinate, described in her recent social media post, this project represents a "quantum leap into the future." It enables the simultaneous extraction of climate-neutral lithium and generation of renewable energy from the hot thermal beds of the Upper Rhine Graben, opening new avenues for Germany's energy transition, supply security, and Europe's sovereignty over critical resources. Lithium, a key component in batteries for electri...

Geo Dipa's Game-Changing Leap: Commercial Silica and Lithium Production from Geothermal Brines by 2028

Geo Dipa's Ambitious Leap: Extracting Silica and Lithium from Geothermal Brines by 2028 Introduction In an era where the global energy transition demands sustainable sources of critical minerals, Indonesia's state-owned PT Geo Dipa Energi ( Persero ) is positioning itself at the forefront of innovation. By 2028, Geo Dipa plans to commence commercial production of silica and lithium extracted from geothermal brines, a byproduct of its geothermal power operations. This initiative not only diversifies the company's revenue streams but also aligns with Indonesia's broader goals of enhancing renewable energy capacity and supporting the electric vehicle (EV) battery supply chain.  Geothermal energy, harnessed from the Earth's heat, produces hot brines rich in dissolved minerals like lithium and silica. Traditionally viewed as waste, these brines are now seen as valuable resources. Geo Dipa's strategy builds on years of feasibility studies and international partnershi...

Zanskar’s Big Blind: First Blind Geothermal Discovery in 30 Years

Big Blind: The Geothermal Discovery That Changes Everything By: Robert Buluma Utah startup  Zanskar Geothermal quietly dropped one of the most important announcements in American energy in decades. They discovered and confirmed “Big Blind” ,the first completely blind, commercial-grade geothermal system found in the United States in over thirty years. Let that sink in. No hot springs.   No fumaroles.   No steaming ground.   No prior wells.   Zero surface expression whatsoever. Just desert, sagebrush, and – 7,000 feet below,  a reservoir hot enough and permeable enough to support gigawatt-scale power production. This isn’t incremental progress. This is a paradigm breaker. Why “Blind” Discoveries Matter So Much For the last 40 years, geothermal development in the U.S. has been geographically handcuffed. You could only build plants where nature advertised the resource on the surface – think Yellowstone, The Geysers, or Imperial Valley. Ever...

FINANCING STRATEGIES FOR GEOTHERMAL PROJECTS LEVERAGING TAX CREDIT INCENTIVES

FINANCING STRATEGIES FOR GEOTHERMAL PROJECTS LEVERAGING TAX CREDIT INCENTIVES Aligning Policy, Risk Mitigation, and Investor Capital to Unlock Geothermal Growth Geothermal energy stands at a unique crossroads in the global energy transition. It is one of the few renewable resources capable of delivering continuous, baseload power and heat, independent of weather conditions. Unlike solar and wind, geothermal offers grid stability, industrial heat, and long-term energy security. Yet despite its immense potential, geothermal deployment has historically lagged behind other renewables due to high upfront capital costs, geological uncertainty, and complex financing requirements. In recent years, governments and financial institutions have increasingly turned to **tax credit incentives as a strategic lever to overcome these barriers. By reducing capital expenditure, improving cash flow profiles, and attracting institutional investors, tax credits are reshaping how geothermal projects are fina...
