中國石化新聞網訊 據世界石油網4月18日報道，Fervo能源公司宣布獲得德文能源公司（Devon）1000萬美元的戰略投資。此次投資開啟了兩位行業技術引領者之間的合作關系，并將德文能源50多年來在油氣領域的創新與Fervo先進的地熱開發能力結合應用。

Devon公司首席企業發展官兼執行副總裁David Harris表示，我們很高興與Fervo公司合作，Fervo公司是增強型地熱領域的創新者和領導者。這項投資與德文的新能源企業戰略非常吻合。

Fervo是第一家成功鉆探并完成商業地熱生產水平井的地熱公司，可利用德文能源在石油和天然氣生產方面首創的技術、技能和工藝。

Shale pioneer Devon Energy invests $10 million into geothermal partnership with Fervo

Fervo Energy announced a $10 million strategic investment from Devon Energy Corporation. The investment initiates a partnership between two technical leaders and applies Devon’s 50-plus years of innovation in oil and gas to Fervo’s advanced geothermal capabilities.

“We are excited about this partnership with Fervo, an innovator and leader in the enhanced geothermal space,” said David Harris, chief corporate development officer and executive vice president at Devon. “This investment is a good match for Devon’s new energy ventures strategy.”

Fervo is the first geothermal company to successfully drill and complete a horizontal well pair for commercial geothermal production – leveraging technologies, skills and processes pioneered by Devon for oil and gas production.

Fervo applies horizontal drilling, multi-stage well completion, and distributed fiber optic sensing to geothermal reservoir development, delivering higher reliability on projects. Fervo’s approach makes geothermal power accessible in far more places than before and dramatically increases its potential as a widespread energy source.

“Devon is a technology leader with historic and unparalleled expertise in drilling and completing wells. We expect this partnership will help unlock further potential for geothermal as the primary 24/7 renewable energy source,” said Tim Latimer, co-founder and CEO of Fervo.
