The Future of Geothermal Energy: Unlocking the Potential of Supercritical Geothermal Resources By:  Robert Buluma In the deep underbelly of the Earth, where the heat is nearly unbearable, lies a force so powerful it could reshape our energy landscape forever. This is the story of supercritical geothermal resources—a frontier so ambitious, so untapped, that it promises not just to meet, but to exceed, our wildest dreams for sustainable energy. The Hidden Power Beneath Our Feet Imagine drilling into the Earth's crust, past boiling reservoirs and molten rock, into a realm where temperatures and pressures reach a critical point, transforming water into a supercritical fluid. Neither liquid nor gas, this supercritical fluid holds the potential to produce ten times more energy than conventional geothermal sources. It’s a resource that could power cities, industries, and entire nations with clean, renewable energy. But this isn't just a tale of boundless potential—it's a journey f

XGS Energy  Acquires Premier Geothermal Drilling Services Company Capuano Engineering By: Robert Buluma In a bold move set to redefine the geothermal energy landscape, XGS Energy has announced the acquisition of Capuano Engineering, a leading global player in geothermal drilling and completion services. This strategic acquisition positions XGS Energy to expand its innovative geothermal technology on a global scale, leveraging Capuano Engineering's extensive expertise and experience in the field. A Leap Forward in Geothermal Technology XGS Energy , based in Palo Alto, California, has been at the forefront of geothermal energy innovation. Their proprietary Thermal Reach Enhancement (TRE) system uses materials that are 50 times more thermally conductive than rock, enabling high-efficiency closed-loop geothermal systems.
