Supercritical Rock Energy
A New Breakthrough, Renewable, Scalable, Terawatt Energy Resource.
WHO WE ARE
The GeoX Team
In 2019, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) testified to Congress that the growth of geothermal energy would depend on utilizing the oil and gas industry's well engineering expertise, truncated drilling time frames and project management. This is because geothermal energy projects are primarily drilling projects, and the oil and gas industry currently drills 70,000 wells per year with a success rate of 99.99%, attributed to their meticulous risk mitigation strategies in the design and execution of operations.
GeoX's leadership consists of diverse, cross-functional, highly experienced experts in oil and gas drilling. The team includes Fortune 500 drilling operations managers, drilling and reservoir engineers, geophysicists, turbine engineers, metallurgists, chemists, and thermodynamicists who bring a wealth of knowledge and industrial expertise to the company. Geox’s oil and gas team has been responsible for managing some of the most complex oil and gas drilling projects globally. These projects have included both deepwater and land wells with high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, some valued at billions of dollars for firms such as Shell, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips.
Leveraging over 150 years of combined drilling engineering expertise, our experience in drilling high-temperature oil and gas wells is the catalyst that lead to the creation of GeoX.

HOW IT WORKS
Drilling For A New Era
Terawatt Renewable Energy
GeoX's Supercritical 850F heat exchangers are installed by drilling into Supercritical formations. Water is circulated into the heat exchanger and then brought to the surface to power our steam turbines, delivering continuous renewable power throughout the year.
Reinvented Oil & Gas Technology
GeoX has developed a new era of drilling technology IP, giving the operator power to drill into 850F formations. These formations temperatures are so hot that traditional oil and gas tools will not operate. GeoX’s new metallurgy and chemistry technology makes it possible to drill into these 850F rocks that have cooled from magma.
100% Uptime
GeoX delivers energy with 100% uptime by switching to standby wells when needed for routine maintenance. — 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Wind and solar only average around 25% uptime, with GeoX, 100% renewable year-round power is finally possible.
Standardized Design
GeoX's standardized power stations have a significantly lower levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) compared to other renewable energy sources, as well as carbon and nuclear technologies. We eliminate costly traditional geothermal designs that take over 10 years and extraordinary costs to complete and maintain.
Leveraging Unique Materials & Chemistry
GeoX utilizes unique patent-pending leveraged materials and chemistry technology, thermally stimulated reservoir heat exchanger, and its standardized power station IP designs, manufactured in advance, then shipped and installed in a truncated time frame, up to 10X faster.
GeoX’s first principle designs could replace Terawatt Carbon Power
and eliminate CO2 and PM2.5 within 50 years.
