Geothermal developer Alberta Geothermal Useful resource Restoration Inc has engaged NXT Power to conduct an aerial survey for geothermal exploration in Alberta, Canada.
Alberta Geothermal Useful resource Restoration Inc. (AGRRI) has engaged survey specialist firm NXT Power Options Inc. (NXT) to conduct an aerial survey to guage the geothermal potential at a website in Alberta, Canada.
The survey will likely be carried out at a mutually agreeable time and topic to plane availability and the receipt of permits from the federal government authorities.

This timeline doesn’t embrace integration which is nominally carried out following supply of the Commonplace Report.
AGRRI is a geothermal firm primarily based in Alberta, Canada that goals to assist Canada attain its aim of NET ZERO GHG Emissions by 2050, primarily by repurposing deserted oil and fuel wells into geothermal wells, turning liabilities to property.
The geothermal potential of Alberta happens primarily at depths between 1.5 to five kilometers beneath the floor contained in geological formations of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. Growth of the useful resource can assist diversify Alberta’s power sector and supply electrical energy and warmth to municipalities, business and distant areas.
“The AGRRI survey is a vital milestone in NXT’s growth of the geothermal utility of our SFD® expertise; our first survey for a consumer.
