Comparison
Fracking for oil & gas vs. fracking for geothermal
Same rigs, same crews, same sand. What differs is the rock, what the water does, and what actually leaves the ground. Geothermal figures refer to enhanced geothermal systems, drawn from Fervo Energy’s Cape Station in Beaver County, Utah and the neighbouring Utah FORGE research project.

Water recapture rates, water sourcing and projected loss figures are reported by Fervo Energy and have not been independently audited. Utah FORGE figures come from Department of Energy–funded testing. Radium concentrations are from USGS produced-water surveys. Lifecycle emissions are median IPCC values.
