The article focuses on the potential for enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) to contribute to the U.S. energy transition, and how assets and technologies from the oil and gas (O&G) industry can be used in geothermal applications. Topics covered include the similarities and overlaps between the geothermal power and O&G industries, the factors affecting O&G asset productivity and the challenges and issues related to this transition.
