We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the structural controls of geothermal systems within the Great Basin and adjacent regions. Our main objectives were to:
1) Produce a catalogue of favorable structural environments and models for geothermal systems.
2) Improve site-specifi...
This project is a component of a broader effort focused on geothermal heating and cooling (GHC) with the aim of illustrating the numerous benefits of incorporating GHC and geothermal heat exchange (GHX) into community energy planning and national decarbonization strategies. To bet...
Compilation of data (spreadsheet and shapefiles) for several low-temperature resource types, including isolated springs and wells, delineated area convection systems, sedimentary basins and coastal plains sedimentary systems. For each system, we include estimates of the accessibl...
The primary objective of our current research is to develop a computational test bed for evaluating borehole techniques to enhance fluid flow and heat transfer in enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). Simulating processes resulting in hydraulic fracturing and/or the remobilization of...
Helium isotope and stable isotope data from the El Tatio, Tinginguirica, Chillan, and Tolhuaca geothermal systems, Chile. Data from this submission are discussed in:
Dobson, P.F., Kennedy, B.M., Reich, M., Sanchez, P., and Morata, D. (2013) Effects of volcanism, crustal thickness,...
This data packet contains supply curves and a composite siting exclusion TIFF for EGS and hydrothermal geothermal across the contiguous United States. The supply curves offer comprehensive metrics such as capacity (MW), generation (MWh), levelized cost of energy (LCOE), levelized ...
This report examines improvements to the representation of geothermal resources and technologies, including hydrothermal, near-field, and deep enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), in EPRI's US-REGEN capacity expansion model. Using updated datasets from the National Renewable Energy ...
Technical papers detailing the development of harsh environment sensors for geothermal applications. Principle Investigator is Prof. Albert P. Pisano (University of California, Berkeley). Submission includes a paper about geothermal environmental exposure testing on encapsulant a...
As part of the planning for stimulation of the Newberry Volcano Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) Demonstration project in Oregon, a high-resolution borehole televiewer (BHTV) log was acquired using the ALT ABI85 BHTV tool in the slightly deviated
NWG 55-29 well. The image log rev...
Chemical reactions pose an important but poorly understood threat to EGS long-term success because of their impact on fracture permeability. This report summarizes the dissolution rate equations for layered silicates where data were lacking for geothermal systems. Here we report ...
An updated database of geothermal direct-use systems in the U.S. has been compiled and analyzed, building upon the Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT) Geo-Heat Center direct-use database. Types of direct-use applications examined include hot springs resorts and pools, aquaculture...
The Geothermal Exploration Artificial Intelligence looks to use machine learning to spot geothermal identifiers from land maps. This is done to remotely detect geothermal sites for the purpose of energy uses. Such uses include enhanced geothermal system (EGS) applications, especia...
The Closed-Loop Geothermal Working Group and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have studied the performance of disc-shaped and linear thermal enhancements (conductive material introduced around a wellbore) in closed-loop geothermal systems. COMSOL models were develop...
The goal of this project was to develop a detailed computer simulation tool for GSHP (ground source heat pump) heating and cooling systems. Two such tools were developed as part of this DOE (Department of Energy) grant; the first is a two-dimensional computer program called GEO2D ...
Spreadsheet containing chlorite, illite, and biotite rate data and rate equations that can be used in reactive transport simulations. Submission includes a report on the development of the rate laws.
This submission includes a Stage Gate Report on "Novel Geothermal Development of Deep Sedimentary Systems in the United States," along with supporting reports, presentations, and theses related to deep sedimentary basin geothermal development..
Stratigraphic reservoirs with high ...
This submission contains the final technical report and closeout presentation for Utah FORGE Project 5-2419, which investigates the coupled evolution of permeability and induced seismicity in enhanced geothermal systems using laboratory experiments, field observations, and nonline...
This report discusses the results of research on the ability to create and/or reactivate and subsequently sustain fracture systems which are strongly influenced by complexly coupled mechanical (M) and chemical (C) processes in reservoirs forced from equilibrium by hydraulic stimul...
This dataset contains the final technical report and closeout presentation for Utah FORGE Project 4-2541, which focused on the optimization and validation of a multistage plug and perf stimulation treatment design for enhanced geothermal systems. The report documents drilling, com...
Accurate dynamic energy simulation is important for the design and sizing of district heating and cooling systems with geothermal heat exchange for seasonal energy storage. Current modeling approaches in building and district energy simulation tools typically consider heat conduct...
Hydraulic studies of drilling micropores at various depths and with various hole sizes, tubing, fluids and rates to show theoretical feasibility. Hydraulic drilling fluids include Supercritical Steam, Nitrogen, and Carbon Dioxide.
The WELLFLO Simulations Report comprises of three ...
Substantial unexploited opportunity exists for the US, and the world, in Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). This cost analysis study provides a baseline cost for a 50 MW Geothermal Power Plant in a challenging New England environment. The study then assesses how project costs wo...
Utah FORGE held a two-day seismic workshop on the University of Utah campus in Salt Lake City, Utah on September 26 and 27, 2022 to share what was learned from the seismic monitoring during the 2022 stimulation. This is a report documenting this workshop. The meeting was structure...
This is the final technical report documenting laboratory experiments and modeling conducted to characterize the thermo-poromechanical behavior of fractured crystalline rocks for application to Utah FORGE. The report includes measurements of poroelastic and thermo-poroelastic prop...
Polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bits are routinely used in the oil and gas industry for drilling medium to hard rock but have not been adopted for geothermal drilling, largely due to past reliability issues and higher purchase costs. The Sandia Geothermal Research Departmen...
