Pilot project seeks to fix Achilles heel of geothermal power
A pilot project from a team of oil industry veterans could save one of California's key clean energy resources from terminal decline. On Thursday, energy company Greenfire announced that they had restored new life to a defunct well in The Geysers, the world's largest geothermal power station — and one that has been in a state of slow, decades-long collapse. By means of technology that taps the heat from underground — rather than the rapidly-depleting water — the Greenfire team turned a well whose electric production had flatlined into a power producer. That offers a potential lifeline to The Geysers, which currently generates about 630 megawatts of on-demand, carbon free electricity to Northern California — down from 2,000 megawatts in 1987. 'You can see these grey wells — they've been abandoned,' said Rob Klenner, a former oil and gas engineer who is now Greenfire's chief executive, pointing to a diagram of the site where boreholes once funneled steam — heated by friction of the faults grinding beneath California — up to spin turbines. 'There's still heat in this area, but it's kind of like a dry well,' Klenner said, comparing it to petroleum. 'Like, 'Hey, we got a little bit of oil, but not enough to make this economics, and then they shut everything in,'' Klenner said. The reason for the decline: the ferocious pace at which conventional forms of geothermal energy can use up water. Today, The Geysers plants use an average of 15 million gallons — 22 Olympic pools — per day. The complex's 18 power plants, spread across 45 miles, tap into the source in the form of the steam that spins their turbines. While this largely comes from treated municipal wastewater, it nonetheless represents a significant loss of water in a famously water-stressed region — and a significant brake on the ability of so-called hydrothermal fields to produce power. Greenfire's new power station, which sits atop a well that had also been largely abandoned for lack of pressure, takes an approach that produces power without losing water. Rather than spinning a turbine with the physical force of superheated water — which is then lost to the atmosphere — Greenfire's team pumped in enough water to restore pressure, and then sealed the well. Now, as the steam rises from the hot rock below, it hits the heat exchanger of a different kind of power plant called an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), a closed-loop system full of a 'working fluid' that boils at a much lower temperature than water. As the working fluid moves through the pipes of the ORC, it spins a turbine and generates power — before releasing its heat into a condenser and falling, exhausted, back into the pump to start again. Inside the well, something similar is happening, Klenner said. The rising steam dumps its heat into the ORC, and then gets reinjected into the new underground closed loop. 'It cools back down, and then we would re-inject it,' he added. 'So now there's no water coming to the surface anymore.' He compared this system to injection wells that coax new oil out of failing oil wells — with the difference that ideally nothing leaves the ground. As the buzz in geothermal energy increasingly focuses on 'enhanced' forms of the technology that use techniques like fracking to create artificial underground cavern networks, Klenner hopes that techniques like this one offer a low-hanging fruit to revitalize existing resources. Proponents of enhanced geothermal (EGS) hope for geothermal drilling on a scale that rivals the oil and gas boom of the 2010s. But while Greenfire has its own EGS projects, Klenner noted that that side of the business, almost by definition, means creating electricity at new sites which planners will then have to figure out how to connect to the grid. At The Geysers, he said, 'The infrastructure is already there. They already have the wells. They already have the power lines. Rather than going to an area where, you know, we want to go do this for the first time, we're working in an area that has everything already put together — which helps lower the cost hurdles.' Bringing The Geysers back to its late 20th Century peak, he noted, would be the equivalent of adding a gigawatt to the grid — the equivalent of building, say, hundreds of new wind turbines, with none of the challenges that such new builds entail. 'If we can do this in existing wells, and we could simply just double production, there's large opportunity,' he said.

Please visit the source.] (1) Non-GAAP measures without a standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards. Refer to the 'Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures' section in this press release. (2) Supplementary financial measure. Refer to the 'Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures' section of this press release. (3) The Company had $50.0 million available under the Senior Credit Facility, with no amounts drawn as at March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024, or December 31, 2024. Q1 2025 Review Greenfire's average production for Q1 2025 was 17,495 bbls/d, a 10% decrease from Q4 2024 and below 19,667 bbls/d reported in Q1 2024. Expansion Asset: Production in the first quarter of 2025 decreased by 21% compared to the previous quarter to 12,613 bbls/d, primarily due to steam generation downtime and production declines following the 2024 Refill program. Demo Asset: Production in the first quarter of 2025 increased by 46% compared to the previous quarter to 4,882 bbls/d, driven by the activation of additional redevelopment wells and the startup of the second disposal well in Q4 2024. Hangingstone Facilities: Bitumen Production Results [This table cannot be displayed. Please visit the source.] Capital expenditures for Q1 2025 totaled $26.3 million, compared to $34.4 million in the same period of the prior year. Adjusted free cash flow was $5.1 million for Q1 2025, an improvement from negative $6.9 million in Q1 2024, primarily driven by more favorable WCS Hardisty differentials and lower capital expenditures. Operational Update Production and Steam Generation Updates The Company's production for Q2 2025 to date is approximately 15,650 bbls/d due to steam generation downtime and base production declines at the Expansion Asset. At present, one of the four steam generation units is offline, with an associated production impact of approximately 1,500 to 2,250 bbls/d. The Company is targeting restoring the offline steam generator by year-end 2025 and is implementing mitigation strategies to reduce production impacts during this period. Emissions Reporting and Regulatory Engagement Greenfire continues to engage in discussions with the Alberta Energy Regulator ('AER') regarding previously reported sulphur dioxide emissions that exceed regulatory limits at the Expansion Asset. The Company takes its regulatory obligations very seriously and has ordered sulphur removal facilities at the Expansion Asset, at a total estimated cost of $15 million ($20 million on a 100% working interest basis), with installation and commissioning targeted for Q4 2025. Greenfire anticipates that this measure will restore compliance with the sulphur dioxide emissions requirements at the Expansion Asset in a safe and efficient manner. Progress Update on Future Development Plans The Company is advancing its evaluation of development plans, capital expenditures, and operational strategies for the Hangingstone Facilities. To address production declines at the Expansion Asset, the Company plans to construct new well pad locations and drill well pairs on the undeveloped reservoir northeast of the Central Processing Facility (the 'CPF'). Final investment decision remains subject to approval by Greenfire's board of directors (the 'Board of Directors') (see Exhibit 1). If the project is approved, drilling of these well pairs could begin as early as Q4 2025. The Company is evaluating additional development targets to the southeast of the CPF to support further production growth. At the Demo Asset, future developments are expected to focus on optimizing base production. Exhibit 1: Expansion Asset - Development Plan Locations Currently Under Evaluation - Undeveloped reservoir northeast and southeast of the CPF (orange) [ This image cannot be displayed.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Certain financial measures in this press release are non-GAAP financial measures or ratios. These measures do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. This press release also contains supplementary financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios include operating netback, adjusted funds flow, adjusted free cash flow, net debt and per barrel figures associated with such non-GAAP financial measures. Supplementary financial measures and ratios include gross profit, capital expenditures and depletion. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Operating Netback (including per barrel ($/bbl)) Gross profit (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to operating netback which is a non-GAAP measure. Operating netback is further adjusted for realized gain (loss) on risk management contracts, as appropriate. Operating netback per barrel ($/bbl) is calculated by dividing operating netback by the Company's total bitumen sales volume in a specified period. When Operating netback is expressed on a per barrel basis it is a non-GAAP ratio. Operating netback is a financial measure widely used in the oil and gas industry as a supplementary measure of a company's efficiency and ability to generate cash flow for debt repayments, capital expenditures or other uses. The following table is a reconciliation of gross profit (loss) to operating netback: [This table cannot be displayed. Please visit the source.] (1) Supplementary financial measure. Adjusted Funds Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Cash provided by operating activities is the most directly comparable GAAP measure for adjusted funds flow, which is a non-GAAP measure. This measure is not intended to represent cash provided by operating activities calculated in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The adjusted funds flow measure allows management and others to evaluate the Company's ability to fund its capital programs and meet its ongoing financial obligations using cash flow internally generated from ongoing operating related activities. We compute adjusted funds flow as cash provided by operating activities, excluding the impact of changes in non-cash working capital, less transaction costs and transactions considered non-recurring in nature or outside of normal business operations. Cash provided by operating activities is the most directly comparable GAAP measure for adjusted free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP measure. Management uses adjusted free cash flow as an indicator of the efficiency and liquidity of its business, measuring its funds after capital investment that are available to manage debt levels and return capital to shareholders. By removing the impact of current period property, plant and equipment expenditures from adjusted free cash flow, management monitors its adjusted free cash flow to inform its capital allocation decisions. We compute adjusted free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities, excluding the impact of changes in non-cash working capital, less transaction costs, transactions considered non-recurring in nature or outside of normal business operations, property, plant and equipment expenditures and acquisition costs. The following table is a reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities to adjusted funds flow and adjusted free cashflow: [This table cannot be displayed. Please visit the source.] (1) Non-recurring transactions relate to a terminated shareholder rights plan and the evaluation of strategic alternatives. Net Debt The table below reconciles long-term debt to net debt. [This table cannot be displayed. Please visit the source.] Net debt is a non-GAAP measure. Long-term debt is a GAAP measure that is the most directly comparable financial statement measure to net debt. Net debt is comprised of long-term debt, adjusted for current assets and current liabilities on the Company's balance sheet, and excludes the current portions of risk management contracts and warranty liability. Management uses net debt to monitor the Company's current financial position and to evaluate existing sources of liquidity. Net debt is used to estimate future liquidity and whether additional sources of capital are required to fund planned operations. Supplementary Financial Measures Depletion The term 'depletion' or 'depletion expense' is the portion of depletion and depreciation expense reflecting the cost of development and extraction of the Company's bitumen reserves. Gross Profit (Loss) Gross profit (loss) is a supplementary financial measure prepared on a consistent basis with IFRS Accounting Standards. Greenfire uses gross profit (loss) to assess its core operating performance before considering other expenses such as general and administrative costs, financing costs, and income taxes. Gross profit (loss) is calculated as oil sales, net of royalties, plus gains on risk management contracts, less losses on risk management contracts, diluent expense, operating expense, depletion expense on the Company's operating assets, transportation expenses and marketing expenses. Management believes that gross profit (loss) provides investors, analysts, and other stakeholders with useful insight into the Company's ability to generate profitability from its core operations before non-operating expenses. [This table cannot be displayed. Please visit the source.] Capital Expenditures Capital expenditures is a supplementary financial measure prepared on a consistent basis with IFRS Accounting Standards. Greenfire uses capital expenditures to monitor the cash flows it invests into property, plant and equipment. Capital expenditures is derived from the statement of cash flows and includes property, plant and equipment expenditures and acquisitions. Management believes that capital expenditures provides investors, analysts and other stakeholders with a useful insight into the Company's investments into property, plant and equipment.
