Project summary

Located in Beaver County, Utah, in close proximity to existing transmission lines and high-quality sources of geological data, Cape Station is the world’s largest next-generation geothermal energy development. Fervo Energy is delivering the multiphased project that, upon completion of the first two phases, will produce 500 megawatts of clean power. To derisk drilling conditions at the project, Fervo needed to create 3D geomodels accessible to the exploration team and individuals across five offices in three different time zones.

Leveraging Oasis Montaj and Leapfrog, Fervo generated detailed 3D subsurface characterization models accessible in Seequent Central’s centralized environment. Bentley’s integrated applications provided a flexible and purpose-built platform for geothermal workflows, allowing the team to visualize, track, and manage large geoscientific datasets and know what to expect while drilling. The digital models enabled accurate geologic and temperature predictions to meet the requirements for an optimally designed power plant, accelerating planning and financing, shortening development timelines.
