Elemental Energy: Simplifying Decarbonization

May 9 2024 • 30 mins

Pioneering in the microreactor application space to support oil and gas, Nick Morriss with Shepherd Power a spinoff of NOV, is first in line! The integration of nuclear to deliver electricity and thermal support to upstream applications is becoming a reality, so much so that companies like Shepherd are forming in preparation of the uptick in need. Their model is as simple as setting up a facility that they own and operate, giving their customer the ability to purchase their power and thermal heat generation. We just need the regulators and developers to catch up!

-Origin Story of Shepherd Power

-Owning and operating reactor risks being removed from customer base

-Values of siting small reactors with modest foundation pads

-Qualitative vs. quantitative values that nuclear integration provides

-Direct application of heat and electricity  in upstream application

-Regulated vs. Non-Regulated Project Management Approaches
