AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- After a multi-year, multi-disciplinary, cross-collaborative effort, researchers at five Texas universities, the University Lands Office, and the International Energy Agency published a landmark study, "The Future of Geothermal in Texas: The Coming Century of Growth & Prosperity in the Lone Star State." Collaborators include researchers from multiple research institutions across the State, including The University of Texas at Austin, Southern Methodist University, Rice University, Texas A&M University, and the University of Houston.

Key Points: 
  • The study evaluates the size and potential scale of geothermal — the naturally occurring heat energy in the Earth's subsurface — as an abundant clean energy resource in the state of Texas, as well as its potential to scale globally over the coming decades.
  • Most importantly, it provides a scientific basis for informed decision-making as entities begin to consider the increased development of geothermal in Texas.
  • "Nabors views the geothermal opportunity as a possibility to repeat the scale and impact of unconventionals, but for decarbonized energy.
  • The increasing engagement of oil and gas entities in geothermal is both reflected in and explained by outcomes of the study.
