Pioneering geothermal into ultradeep, high-temp territory.
Fervo completed drilling its Sugarloaf well in Utah to a record depth of 15,765 ft, targeting 520°F—a new milestone for Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS).
Drilling was completed in 16 days, slashing time by 79% versus DOE benchmarks.
The well achieved record bit runs (3,290 ft) and an instantaneous rate of penetration above 300 ft/hr at depths over 15,000 ft.
Independent validation confirms the site’s potential to support over 5 GW of capacity.
Fervo projects 50–60% thermal recovery, tripling conventional geothermal output per well.
A regulatory first for advanced reactor fleet deployment.
Oklo’s Licensed Operator Topical Report has been accepted by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for review.

The strategy reflects Oklo’s business model of selling power, not power plants, and is aimed at reducing operational overhead and accelerating commercialization.
