North Dakota researchers are investigating the use of fracking technology to enhance geothermal energy production by improving the permeability of rock formations, which could integrate geothermal energy into the state's electrical grid. Current geothermal applications in North Dakota include powering compressor stations and residential heat pumps, with most U.S. commercial production occurring in California and Nevada. Challenges include the density of rock formations that impede water flow, but advancements in oil and gas technology have reduced costs. Policy recommendations suggest refining regulatory frameworks and conducting exploratory drilling. Reusing unproductive oil wells for geothermal purposes offers minimal financial benefits.
