Teverra's AI-Powered Breakthrough: Revolutionizing Clean Energy Drilling with Real-Time Risk Management

Teverra's AI-Driven Innovation Set to Revolutionize Clean Energy Well Drilling

Department of Energy Awards $1.2 Million Grant for Real-Time Drilling Risk Management

ATLANTA, January 30, 2025 — In a groundbreaking move for clean energy technology, Teverra LLC has secured a $1.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The funding will propel the advancement of Teverra’s Drilling Dynamics Geomechanics (DDG™) technology into real-time capabilities, setting the stage for a transformative era in subsurface drilling operations.

Geothermal drilling, For day ones they will attest that it could take atleast half the amount of coming up with a geothermal power plant. However this is no longer the case when we think of this groundbreaking breakthrough which was recently unearthed

Spearheaded by Dr. Hamed Soroush, Teverra's founder and CEO, this initiative promises to tackle some of the most critical challenges in CO2 storage, geothermal energy, hydrogen storage, and oil and gas exploration. By delivering instant insights into the subsurface state of stress and mechanical properties, the DDG™ technology will revolutionize well drilling efficiency and safety.

AI-Driven Real-Time Insights

Conventional drilling methods heavily rely on limited datasets and logging, often leading to inefficiencies and costly mistakes. Teverra’s DDG™ technology leverages the power of artificial intelligence to analyze drilling dynamics data in real-time. The result? Instant risk assessment and mitigation without the need for traditional data logging.

"This grant underscores Teverra's commitment to innovation and sustainability in the energy sector," said Dr. Soroush. "Our goal is to bolster safety, slash costs, and boost efficiency in drilling operations through enhanced technology."

Just recently ,Teverra and Permian lab had reached a concensus of working together towards geothermal revitilization

With proven reliability through extensive field testing, the real-time capabilities of DDG™ are set to redefine industry standards. The introduction of an automated data analytics pipeline will offer immediate insights and recommendations at drilling sites, significantly reducing non-productive time and enhancing project economics.

Unlocking Billions in Savings for Clean Energy Projects

The implications of this technology are monumental. By mitigating risks and enhancing efficiency, DDG™ has the potential to save billions annually, particularly in low-margin projects like geothermal and carbon capture and storage (CCS) developments. This aligns with DOE’s mission to foster scientific innovation and economic growth while advancing clean energy solutions.

Driving the Future of Energy Innovation

Teverra's approach signals a significant leap forward for the energy sector. The company’s commitment to innovation spans advanced geomechanics, geothermal resource development, subsurface engineering design, and applied artificial intelligence.

Initially Teverra was awarded a statewide geothermal fasttracking campaign

By harnessing these competencies, Teverra'snot only mitigates exploration risks but also optimizes drilling, completions, and production processes, paving the way for safer, cleaner, and more cost-effective subsurface operations.

Teverra has roots from oil and Gas and its obvious the geothermal industry relations with oil is great day by day...what a decade.

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...

Banda Baru Geothermal Tender Flops: Zero Bidders Step Forward

Banda Baru Geothermal Survey Tender Fails to Attract Bidders By: Robert Buluma Indonesia's push toward renewable energy suffered a notable setback in late 2025 when the tender for the Preliminary Survey and Exploration Assignment (WPSPE) of the Banda Baru Sepa geothermal block closed without a single bidder. Located on the remote Seram Island in Maluku Province, this 1,989-hectare site was seen as a promising addition to the nation's geothermal portfolio, with estimated potential of around 25-30 MW. The tender, open from October 31 to December 1, 2025, aimed to assign a developer for initial surveys and exploration, but the lack of interest underscores deep-rooted challenges in attracting investment to Indonesia's geothermal sector. Seram Island, a rugged and largely undeveloped landmass north of Ambon, is characterized by dense rainforests, towering mountains, and limited infrastructure. The Banda Baru block's location amplifies logistical difficulties, making it a to...

Versailles Powers Its Historic Legacy with Deep Geothermal Energy: A Model for Sustainable Urban Heating

Versailles Embraces Deep Geothermal Energy to Decarbonize Its District Heating Network By Robert Buluma The historic city of Versailles in France's Yvelines department is taking a bold step toward sustainability. On December 18, 2025, Mayor François de Mazières and Franck Lacroix, Deputy Managing Director of Engie , signed a 32-year concession agreement. This partnership entrusts Engie with transforming, modernizing, and greening the city's district heating network, aiming to slash carbon emissions while providing reliable, renewable heat to residents. At the project's core is deep geothermal energy, harnessing the natural heat from underground aquifers. The site targets the Dogger aquifer, a limestone formation from the Middle Jurassic period, located about 1,500 meters below the Paris Basin. Water in this layer reaches temperatures of around 60°C, making it ideal for heating. The plan involves drilling a geothermal doublet two wells: one to extract hot water and another t...

Rodatherm Energy: Pioneering Closed Loop Geothermal in Utah

Revolutionizing Geothermal Energy: Rodatherm's Game-Changing Approach in Utah Posted by Alphaxioms Geothermal News on January 17, 2026 Utah-based Rodatherm Energy Corporation has revolutionized the geothermal energy equation, and venture capitalists have taken note. With pilot projects planned for Millard County and Beaver County, the company has what founder and CEO Curtis Cook calls “a novel approach” to geothermal technology. In a world racing toward sustainable energy solutions, geothermal power has long been a reliable but underutilized player. Traditional geothermal systems rely on water to extract heat from the Earth's depths, often limiting their deployment to remote, sparsely populated areas due to environmental concerns and high costs. But Rodatherm is flipping the script with its innovative, waterless closed-loop system that promises efficiency, scalability, and minimal environmental impact. At the heart of Rodatherm's technology is what Cook describes as ...
