Gradient Geothermal Partners with Chord Energy on North Dakota Industrial Commission-backed Geothermal Project:


Chord Energy utilizes Gradient Geothermal’s technology to cool produced fluids and help power an oil and gas facility in the Williston Basin, North Dakota

December 04, 2024 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time

DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Gradient Geothermal (“Gradient” or the “Company”), a Denver, Colorado-based company that generates geothermal energy derived from existing oil and gas production and infrastructure, today announced that the Company is providing Chord Energy, an independent North American oil and gas exploration and production entity, geothermal power generation and fluid cooling services. This first of its kind deployment of Gradient Geothermal’s proprietary technology removes heat from produced fluids and channels those resources to create electricity.

Chord received partial funding for this project from the Clean Sustainable Energy Authority (“CSEA”), a grant program funded by the North Dakota Industrial Commission, to foster geothermal energy produced at the company’s facilities in North Dakota. By harnessing the thermal energy already present at the site, this approach bolsters the project’s efficiency via converting what would otherwise be wasted heat into a valuable energy asset.

“For too long, key public and private sector stakeholders have not had access to the technology and expertise needed to harness the vast, untapped energy resources beneath our feet,” said Dr. Benjamin Burke, Chief Executive Officer of Gradient Geothermal. “Properly capturing highly sustainable geothermal energy already present at active energy production projects presents a new avenue of opportunity for government agencies and leading commercial entities alike, and we could not be more excited to work with Chord to help deploy Gradient’s innovative technology within this expansive, forward-thinking initiative.”
