ENHANCED SEQUESTRATION GEOTHERMAL, LLC Celebrates a New Patent on World Geothermal Energy Day
ENHANCED SEQUESTRATION GEOTHERMAL LLC
Celebrates a New Patent on World Geothermal Energy Day
US Patent 11,732,929 is the natural evolution of enhanced geothermal systems. It is novel because it combines in a single well the permanent sequestration of waste heat transfer products such as scCo2 or all emissions from a power plant including liquid nuclear waste. These unwanted products can be used to enhanced the recovery of heat from a geothermal well.
ABOUT ENHANCED SEQUESTRATION GEOTHERMAL, LLC
The geothermal well can be drilled anywhere onshore because the target formation for hot dry rocks is basement granite which blankets all continents. This means no pipelines. Basement granite is the primary source of radiogenic heat from earth’s crust and is the premier disposal zone around the world because of granite’s ubiquitous & deep vertical natural fractures which may serve as conduits into the mantle and allow super high temperatures to reach the wellbore without having to drill to the mantle.
The objective of the patent is to ensure the future of the geothermal industry. Geothermal projects have been known for being marginally economic at best. What is needed is low-cost well solution that provides for a second revenue stream to make geothermal wells extremely profitable.
Lowering costs begins with requiring only one well to be drilled. If that well is being drilled for sequestration reasons like described in the patent then the geothermal well cost is free. Next, is to lower completion costs by drilling the horizontal wellbore underbalanced to eliminate the need for hydraulic fracturing.

Diverso Celebrates World Geothermal Energy Day with Big Reveal!
Diverso to Unveil Cutting-Edge Drilling Fleet at Open House in Italy!
Since being acquired by DIF Capital Partners in May 2023, Diverso Energy has rapidly expanded to meet the growing demand for geothermal heating and cooling in the GTHA. With this growth came the addition of a new fleet of Diverso-branded drill rigs! This World Geothermal Energy Day, the company is excited to showcase two new cutting-edge 909GT rigs at an open house in Italy, made possible through a collaboration with Comacchio SpA. Engineered for optimal efficiency and power, these rigs are perfect for multifamily residential geothermal projects. Co-Founders Tim Weber, Sergio Almeida, and Jon Mesquita look forward to putting this innovative tech on full display. Stay tuned for photos from the event!
Spotlight on the 909GT: Our Rig of Choice
The 909GT geothermal drill rig stands out with its compact design and advanced rod handling system, enabling effective drilling in tight urban spaces while adapting to various geological conditions.
What’s Next for Diverso?
As they enhance their fleet, Diverso is equally dedicated to expanding their team.
