About Us

Eden is pioneering sustainable natural resource recovery by using electricity to enhance subsurface permeability. Our Electrical Reservoir Stimulation technology offers a precise, water-efficient alternative to traditional hydraulic fracturing, reducing environmental risks while maximizing resource extraction.

Backed by leading public and private institutions, we have raised ~$24M, including $14M in dilutive capital from industry leaders such as Anglo American and Helmerich & Payne, along with climate-focused investors like the Grantham Foundation. Additionally, we have secured $10M in non-dilutive funding, primarily through four DOE ARPA-E grants that support our R&D in frontier industries.

Headquartered in Somerville, MA, and with an office in Houston, TX, Eden's team of 16 experts specialize in geology, high-voltage engineering, and subsurface tool design. We are actively demonstrating our next-generation permeability enhancement technology across diverse geologies worldwide, collaborating with industry leaders in geothermal energy, geologic hydrogen, carbon storage, and mining to redefine resource recovery for a carbon-neutral future.

We are actively running a field pilot and preparing for upcoming future field pilots across the country, in cooperation with our supportive technical partners.

• Field Readiness and Preparation
  • Support the execution of detailed field plans for Electric Reservoir Stimulation (ERS) pilots, including mobilization, pre-ERS operations, equipment staging, field operations, and demobilization.
  • Work with both the R&D team and the engineering team to translate pilot objectives and tests into practical field work plans.
  • Coordinate field readiness across site hosts/clients, internal engineering, vendors, and subcontractors.
  • Help identify field constraints early, including: access, power, water, pressure-control needs, lifting/handling requirements, and permitting/regulations. Assist with preparing the proper permits.
  • Responsible for ensuring that required equipment, tools, spares, instrumentation, consumables, PPE, vehicles, rentals, and support services are available
  • Build and maintain equipment lists and packing lists for mobilization
  • Support building timelines and Gantt charts. Track performance vs planned timelines.
• Logistics and Mobilization/Demobilization
  • Own pilot logistics from pre-mobilization through demobilization, including equipment preparation, shipping, site delivery, travel scheduling, lodging, rental vehicles, and field crew coordination.
  • Coordinate with vendors and subcontractors for equipment rentals, equipment deliveries, testing services, and other field support.
  • Coordinate real-time changes to the field plan with engineering, operations leadership, site representatives, and contractors.
• Day to Day Field Leadership
  • Serve as the primary day-to-day field lead during ERS pilot execution.
  • Run daily field activities, including morning planning, task assignments, schedule reviews, contractor coordination, daily reports, and end-of-day progress updates. Proactively identify delays and required decisions.
  • Manage a small field team of approximately 1–4 people, including Eden personnel/technicians and contractors.
  • Act as the on-site point of contact for Eden during field execution, escalating technical, safety, schedule, or commercial issues as needed.
  • Own the field-level schedule during pilot execution and maintain a clear view of critical path activities.
  • Responsible for knowing how to troubleshoot electrical issues by having basic knowledge of electrical principles including currents, volts, circuits, and power.
  • Will oversee, and when necessary, perform routine maintenance services, and routine electrical services on various equipment
  • Support cost tracking for field-related expenses, including equipment, rentals, contractors, and travel.
  • Participate in/lead daily safety meetings, hazard analyses, and stop-work discussions.
  • Confirm that field personnel have the required safety training and understand site rules, PPE requirements, emergency procedures, exclusion zones, and equipment-specific hazards.
  • Maintain organized field records, including daily…
