Geothermal Energy

Geothermal activity in Texas spans conventional geothermal wells, enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), and closed-loop designs — many led by teams applying oilfield drilling techniques to heat production. Permits tagged here cover geothermal exploration and production wells filed with the Texas Railroad Commission.

Texas is a natural home for the geothermal industry: deep hot formations, a dense well-data record, and a drilling workforce and service sector that transfer directly from oil and gas.
