An exploration well at Newberry Volcano in Oregon has been converted to an injector well for enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) after successful high temperature fracturing at over 300 °C. This conversion utilized the world's first high temperature sleeve, enabling effective stimulation and heat extraction through a fracture network. The site shows potential for superhot rock EGS development with temperatures exceeding 320 °C at depth.
