NEGS™ Naturally Enhanced​
Geothermal Systems

Directionally harvestable by design – not productive by chance.

Using the earth’s own permeability to our advantage. Not engineered fractures, rather naturally occurring pathways conducting heat for millions of years.

NATURAL PERMABILITY ADVANTAGE​

Geology does the work. NEGS™ targets formations with naturally fractured hydro rock – eliminating the reservoir creation risk that constrains engineered systems (i.e. EGS).

ULTRA-HIGH TEMPERATURE TARGETING​

Davinci targets reservoirs at 350-650°F. Significantly above conventional thresholds. Higher temperatures mean more power per well and superior economics at scale. ​

SIMPLE DEVELOPMENT PATH​

NEGS™ relies on proven subsurface geology, not first of its kind stimulation. More predictable, more financeable, and faster to power than EGS alternatives. ​

PROPRIETARY RESOURCE IDENTIFICATION

A proprietary framework for identifying NEGS™ compatible formations across the Western Hemisphere – repeatable and scalable. ​

NEGS™ vs. EGS​

Side by Side Comparison​

NEGS™
EGS
Naturally Fractured Hydro Rock

NEGS™ is about reading the earth and prioritizing naturally fractured, water-saturated, reservoir rocks where nature already did the hard work.

Solid Dry Rock

EGS uses uses high-volume, high-pressure stimulation engineering to create fractures by force in crystalline basement rocks.

No Make-up Water

Naturally hydrated sandstone eliminates the need for make-up water for NEGS™ development.

Make-up Water

Material fresh water added to injection system replaces fresh water lost from production system.

Naturally Fractured Rock

Permeable and naturally perforated reservoirs.

Mechanically Fractured Rock

Requires hydrojacking and proppant stimulation to crack open solid, dry rock.

Lower Seismic Risk

Lower Cost, Higher Value

Compared to EGS, development is half the cost with double the value.

Higher Cost, Lower Value

Compared to NEGS™, development is double the cost with half the value.
