CALGARY, Alberta, Aug. 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eavor Technologies Inc. (“Eavor”) is pleased to announce the commencement of their demonstration project to drill the deepest and hottest directional geothermal well in history (called Eavor-Deep™).
Historically, the deeper and higher temperature the rock, the slower and more expensive drilling becomes. Eavor has developed process and technologies to break this paradigm, called Eavor-Loop™, which will be utilized in the upcoming Eavor-Deep™ project, located in southwestern USA, to show linear, and potentially sublinear, drilling costs in super-hot ultra-deep environments.
Building from the portfolio of technologies and methods demonstrated at the Eavor-Lite™ facility near Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, Canada in 2019, the milestones planned at Eavor-Deep™ are designed to evidence the global scalability of Eavor-Loop™.
John Redfern, President & CEO at Eavor, said: “If everything goes according to plan, we will establish a clear line-of-sight to sub US$60 per megawatt-hour costs. This is an important milestone which unlocks an enormous portfolio of Eavor-Loop™ project locations in key US, European and Asia Pacific markets, now.”
Bailey Schwarz, Director, North America Projects at Eavor, said: “Working with our partners and the development team in planning and preparing for this project has been and continues to be a fantastic experience. The strong working relationships we have developed are vital to the success of the project and to the future opportunities we have already identified together.”
Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (“H&P”) is a strategic service provider and shareholder in Eavor having made a direct equity investment in 2021. Building on the companies’ ongoing collaborative effort to improve upon existing state of the art drilling technologies, H&P is providing the drilling rig and associated drilling technologies and services for the Eavor-Deep™ project.
John Lindsay, H&P President and CEO, said: “Improving lives through affordable and responsible energy is a central philosophy at H&P. Getting to know the team at Eavor and their processes and goals, it was easy to see how we could support and complement each other. We are encouraged by the opportunities we see working and innovating together with Eavor.”
Matthew Toews, CTO at Eavor, said: “The collaboration with H&P, particularly in the area of next generation drilling technologies, is a tremendous opportunity for us and we are greatly appreciative of the passion and devotion shown by all involved at H&P.”

Eavor (pronounced “Ever”) is a technology-based energy company led by a team dedicated to creating a clean, reliable, and affordable energy future on a global scale. Eavor’s solution (Eavor-Loop™) represents the world’s first truly scalable form of clean, dispatchable, baseload capable, and flexible power. Eavor achieves this by mitigating or eliminating many of the issues that have traditionally hindered geothermal energy. Eavor instead circulates a benign working fluid that is completely isolated from the environment in a closed-loop, through a massive subsurface radiator. This radiator simply collects heat from the natural geothermal gradient of the Earth via conduction. Eavor has been supported by equity investments made by several leading global energy producers, investors, developers, and venture capital funds including bp, Temasek, Chevron Technology Ventures, BHP, Vickers Venture Partners, H&P and BDC Capital. info@eavor.com

The first half of the year saw the benchmark S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) produce its worst return since 1970. With the S&P 500 and Nasdaq respectively declining 24% and 34%, respectively, at their peaks, both indexes have firmly entered bear market territory. Given the heightened volatility and uncertainty that accompanies bear markets, it has a lot of investors wondering where the market will bottom.
It is the worst year for buying the stock-market dip since the 1930s. Instead of rebounding after a tumble, stocks have continued to fall, denting a strategy that soared in popularity over the past decade.
Cathie Wood's Ark Innovation ETF, which focuses on such stocks, has plunged by nearly 75% from its early 2021 peak, and some individual companies have fallen further.

Jake Lerch (Advanced Micro Devices): There's plenty of carnage in the stock market among tech stocks, and AMD is no exception.
Using technical analysis of the charts of those stocks, and, when appropriate, recent actions and grades from TheStreet's Quant Ratings, we zero in on three names. While we will not be weighing in with fundamental analysis, we hope this piece will give investors interested in stocks on the way down a good starting point to do further homework on the names. Nvidia Corp. recently was downgraded to Hold with a C+ rating by TheStreet's Quant Ratings.
AT&T (NYSE: T) and IBM (NYSE: IBM) both underwent dramatic transformations over the past year. AT&T divested DirecTV, merged WarnerMedia with Discovery to create Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ: WBD) , and sold many of its non-core assets to prioritize the growth of its core telecom business.
Stocks have taken a bumpy ride this year. The S&P 500 was in a free fall for the first six months of 2022, tumbling about 24% from peak to trough on fears that rising interest rates to combat inflation could cause a recession. With the market growing fearful again, our contributors think that some stocks are starting to look like great bargains.
