Fervo reports a successful 30-day flow test at Project Red in Nevada
Fervo completed a record-breaking 30-day continuous well test at Project Red in northern Nevada, achieving 63 litres per second at 191°C, enough for approximately 3.5 MW of electric generation. This was the first commercial horizontal geothermal well pair and set a new record for enhanced geothermal system performance.
- 63 litres per second flow at high temperature enabling 3.5 MW electric production; record for enhanced geothermal systems
- First commercial horizontal well pair reaching 3,250-foot lateral lengths; 191°C operating temperature
- 30-day continuous test demonstrated commercial viability and scalability of Fervo's drilling technology
