Fervo Energy 的 Sugarloaf 评估井已完成钻探并录得实际垂直深度 15,765 英尺，预计在完全热平衡后井底温度将达到 520°F。Fervo 仅用 16 天就完成了 Sugarloaf 井的钻探，与美国能源部超深地热井基准相比，钻井时间缩短了 79%。

在钻探 Fervo 迄今为止最热、最深的井时，该公司能够实现 3,290 英尺的最大钻头运行长度、95 英尺/小时的最大平均穿透率（“POP”）以及在超过 15,000 英尺的深度下超过 300 英尺/小时的瞬时 ROP。

各种地热资源评估和电网建模研究（包括美国地质调查局、普林斯顿大学和国家可再生能源实验室最近的报告）现已一致认为，在海拔 10,000 至 20,000 英尺和温度 400 至 600°F 的范围内，有数百千兆瓦的地热部署机会。

Fervo Energy drilled and logged its Sugarloaf appraisal well to a true vertical depth of 15,765 ft and is projected to reach a bottomhole temperature of 520°F after full thermal equilibration. Fervo completed the Sugarloaf well in just 16 drilling days, representing a 79% reduction in drilling time compared to the US Department of Energy baseline for ultradeep geothermal wells.

While drilling what is Fervo’s hottest and deepest well to-date, the company was able to achieve a maximum bit run length of 3,290 ft, a maximum average rate of penetration (“ROP”) of 95 ft/hour, and an instantaneous ROP of over 300 ft/hour at depths greater than 15,000 ft.

Various geothermal resource evaluation and grid modeling studies – including recent reports by the US Geological Survey, Princeton University and National Renewable Energy Laboratory – have now aligned that there are hundreds of gigawatts of opportunity for geothermal deployment in the range of 10,000-20,000 ft and 400-600°F.
