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.

INTERVIEW, Geretsried and Beyond: Eavor’s Blueprint for Reliable, Sustainable Energy

Robert Buluma : Alphaxioms Responses were provided by Jeanine Vany, Executive Vice-President of Corporate Affairs, Eavor . Can you explain the key technological advancements in the latest iteration of the Eavor-Loop™ system? We have made a number of technological advancements at our project in Geretsried Germany . This includes innovation and learning resulting in dramatic improvements in our drilling performance and we’re proud to talk about our technology. For example, Eavor recently announced successful implementation of our in-house AMR (active magnetic ranging) tool which makes drilling more accurate and efficient. Eavor-Link™ AMR uses magnetic ranging while drilling to maintain constant alignment as it drills two wells at approximately 100 metres apart before they are intersected to create a continuous geothermal loop, which is then sealed with Eavor’s proprietary Rock-Pipe™ formula. With real-time data transmission between downhole sensors, the technology ensures tighter bo...

Mastering the Subsurface: Insights from a Geothermal Reservoir Engineer

Geothermal energy is often called the “quiet backbone” of the clean energy transition. To understand the science, challenges, and innovations driving this sector, we spoke with a seasoned geothermal reservoir engineer with experience spanning the Andes, Nevada, Utah, and volcanic fields worldwide. Here’s what they shared. By: Robert Buluma 1. What sparked your passion for geothermal reservoir engineering, and did you ever imagine yourself working in some of the world’s most challenging geothermal fields? My passion was sparked during my early career in the petroleum industry, specifically in reservoirs. I was fascinated by the subsurface—how fluids move, how heat and pressure interact but it wasn’t until I worked on projects in Peru that I realized geothermal offered the chance to apply my skills to clean energy. I never imagined I would later work on Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) projects in Nevada and Utah or Andean volcanic fields, where the geology is as unforgiving as it ...

Kenya’s Energy Crossroads: Gulf Energy Takes Over Tullow Oil in Turkana’s Geothermal-Rich Fields

Gulf Energy Takes Over Tullow Oil’s Turkana Fields – Oil Drilling to Overlap a Geothermal Hotspot By: Robert Buluma In a landmark energy shift for Kenya, British explorer Tullow Oil has officially exited the country after 14 years , selling its Turkana operations to Gulf Energy in a deal worth Ksh.16 billion (USD 120 million). The transition marks the end of Tullow's chapter in Kenya and the beginning of a new phase that could reshape not only oil production but geothermal exploration as well. The takeover grants Gulf Energy full control of the Turkana oil project , situated in a geologically active zone that also happens to host significant geothermal potential. Beneath Turkana’s arid landscapes, volcanic systems create natural heat reservoirs turning the region into a rare frontier where oil and geothermal energy converge. Tullow Oil first entered Kenya in 2010, striking the Ngamia-1 discovery well in 2012, which ignited hopes of the countr...
