Reservoir Stimulation Optimization with Operational Monitoring for Creation of EGS

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...

Technology Development and Field Trials of EGS Drilling Systems at Chocolate Mountain

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...

Utah FORGE: Stress Ratio Dependence of Ultrasonic Anisotropy in Well 16B(78)-32 Core

This dataset contains high-pressure ultrasonic measurements on a foliated granitoid core from Well 16B(78)-32 at the Utah FORGE site. Ultrasonic P-waves and two orthogonal S-waves were measured concurrently parallel and perpendicular to the rock fabric. All measurements were mad...

Penn State Lab Testing Fluid-Rock Interaction in Geothermal Reservoirs

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 ...
