The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Occidental Petroleum USA Inc. (OXY) to drill twin high-temperature geothermal wells in the Denver-Julesburg Basin of Colorado using existing and novel drilling technologies. OXY and its partners from industry, national laboratories, and academia plan to drill to deeper and hotter depths than most existing geothermal operations and at a faster rate.
