Due the high temperature and pressure conditions found in geothermal wells, tracer studies designed to elucidate properties of geothermal reservoirs are traditionally conducted by pulling liquid samples from the wellhead. These samples are then sent off for analysis in a fixed lab...
The Newberry Volcano EGS Demonstration in central Oregon, a 3 year project started in 2010, tests recent technological advances designed to reduce the cost of power generated by EGS in a hot, dry well (NWG 55-29) drilled in 2008. First, the stimulation pumps used were designed to ...
EGS field projects have not sustained production at rates greater than half of what is needed for economic viability. The primary limitation that makes commercial EGS infeasible is our current inability to cost-effectively create high-permeability reservoirs from impermeable, igne...
The Geothermal Resource Portfolio Optimization and Reporting Technique (GeoRePORT) was developed with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy Geothermal Technologies Office to assist in identifying and pursuing long-term investment strategies through the development of a resour...
1301 Vertical Component seismic instruments were deployed at San Emidio Geothermal field in Nevada in December 2016. The first record starts at 2016-12-05T02:00:00.000000Z (UTC) and the last record ends at 2016-12-11T14:00:59.998000Z (UTC). Data are stored in individual files in o...
This project focused on assessment and discovery of fluid-rock interaction in geothermal reservoirs. We accomplished work in four main areas: 1) fracture formation and the relationship between fluid flow and shear failure, 2) assessment of fracture geometry and fluid permeability ...
Numerical modeling on fused silica cylindrical materials for predicting overpressures required to fracture an homogeneous pure (surrogate) material with known mechanical properties similar to igneous rock materials and later compare these values to experimental overpressures obtai...
As geothermal resource contributions to the energy sector grow, cybersecurity will be increasingly important to ensure resilient, reliable, and secure clean energy for years to come. An overview of the cybersecurity vulnerability assessment project was developed and presented at t...
We developed a model for fracture production produced during detonation of an explosive mixture in a 10m packed off section of a shallow borehole. The model is based upon an actual field and lab experiments on low-damage borehole fracturing performed at Sandia National Labs by Mar...
A presentation with notes showing an overview of the last 6 months of the project on high-temperature self-healing inorganic cement composites. General approach, test methods and results for the self-healing cement composites are presented. Data include strength recoveries for 9 c...
The objective of this project is to use a multi-disciplinary, three-tiered approach to assess the geothermal resource and determine the feasibility of implementing a large-scale, direct-use facility for the Hawthorne Army Depot (HAD) and the various town and county facilities in H...
CO2 breakthrough experiments in a column packed with sand and filled with StimuFrac fluid or water to learn about transport of the stimuli (CO2) on environments where either water or the stimuli-responsive polymer aqueous solution (StimuFrac) is present. Results suggest co-injecti...
This dataset comprises field logging data collected during chemical-based tool deployments at the Utah FORGE geothermal site, specifically at monitoring well 58-32 and production well 16B(78)-32. Data acquisition occurred during the Summer 2024 circulation testing campaign, with t...
These data and test descriptions comprise a chilled circulation test conducted at the 164' fracture in the EGS Collab Experiment 1 testbed on the 4850 ft level of the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Descriptions of the meta data, design drawings for the flow testing system,...
The Report is being developed by NREL and the GRC, with financial support from the Geothermal Technologies Office of the U.S. DOE and the GRC. It is intended to provide geothermal policymakers, regulators, developers, researchers, and other stakeholders with up-to-date information...
This submission includes papers, presentations, and data developed during the multi-year GeoVision Barriers Taskforce effort.
Developers have identified many non-technical barriers to geothermal power development, including land access, permitting, and market barriers. Included i...
Submitted data include simulations related to underground thermal battery (UTB) simulations described in Modeling and efficiency study of large scale underground thermal battery deployment, presented at GRC, October 2021.
The UTB is comprised of a tank of water, a helical heat ex...
Polymer-cement experiments were conducted in order to assess the chemical and thermal properties of various polymer-cement composites. This file set includes the following polymer-cement analyses:
Polymer-Cement Composite Synthesis
Polymer-Cement Interactions by Atomistic Simulat...
The Newberry Volcano EGS Demonstration in central Oregon, a 5 year project begun in 2010, tests recent technological advances designed to reduce the cost of power generated by EGS in a hot, dry well (NWG 55-29) drilled in 2008. First, the stimulation pumps used were designed to ru...
In California and Nevada, geothermal projects are subject to non-technical barriers, which may create development delays leading to higher project costs and risks and decreased competitiveness with other electricity generation technologies. These non-technical barriers may include...
