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...
This is a presentation on the Design and Implementation of Innovative Stimulation Treatments to Maximize Energy Recovery Efficiency by The University of Texas at Austin, presented by Mukul M. Sharma. This video slide presentation discusses the following objectives: (1) to place fr...
This is a presentation on the Closing the Loop Between In-situ Stress Complexity and EGS Fracture Complexity project by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, presented by Dr. Matteo Cusini. The project's objective was to employ a combination of high-fidelity simulations and true...
This is a presentation on the Joint Electromagnetic/Seismic/InSAR Imaging of Spatial-Temporal Fracture Growth and Estimation of Physical Fracture Properties During EGS Resource Development project by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, presented by Dr. David Alumbaugh, Staff Sc...
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...
The Utah FORGE 2024 Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) Model dataset provides a set of files representing discrete fracture network modeling for the FORGE site near Milford, Utah. The dataset includes four distinct DFN model file sets, each corresponding to different time frames and ...
This dataset contains drilling core data from well 16B(78)-32, including PDF documents with flattened core images annotated by feature type and core interval, as well as spreadsheets detailing feature morphologies by depth, planar feature measurements, and planar feature orientati...
This is a presentation on Closing the Loop Between In-Situ Stress Complexity and EGS Fracture Complexity by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, presented by Matteo Cusini. The video discusses the combination of high-fidelity simulations and true-triaxial block fracturing tests...
Hydraulic shearing is an appealing reservoir stimulation strategy for Enhanced Geothermal Systems. It is believed that hydro-shearing is likely to simulate a fracture network that covers a relatively large volume of the reservoir whereas hydro-fracturing tends to create a small nu...
This is a presentation on the Evolution of Permeability and Strength Recovery of Shear Fractures Under Hydrothermal Conditions project by the U.S. Geological Survey, presented by Dr. David Lockner. The project's objective was to determine how thermal, hydraulic, mechanical, and ch...
The FORGE team is making these fracture models available to researchers wanting a set of natural fractures in the FORGE reservoir for use in their own modeling work. They have been used to predict stimulation distances during hydraulic stimulation at the open toe section of well 1...
This is a presentation on Integrating Tracer Huff-Puff Tests and Geomechanical Analysis to Measure Evolution of the Fracture Network in EGS Reservoirs by California State University Long Beach, presented by Prof. Matthew Becker. The project is evaluating huff-puff tracer testing, ...
This paper presents a generalized form of the displacement correlation method (the GDC method), which can use any linear or quadratic finite element type with homogeneous meshing without local refinement. These two features are critical for modeling dynamic fracture propagation pr...
This report presents geodetic observations from the April 2024 stimulations at the Utah FORGE site, as part of LBNL FORGE Project 3-2535. It focuses on Distributed Strain Sensing (DSS) data from an optical fiber in well 16B, capturing localized strain linked to fracture propagatio...
Visualize the Utah FORGE DFN model in three-dimensional space using the Seequent Central public viewer. 131 discrete planar fractures have been interpreted by Aleta Finnila (https://gdr.openei.org/submissions/1750) from various data sets obtained during the 2022 and 2024 stimulati...
This is a presentation on the Design and Implementation of Innovative Stimulation Treatments to Maximize Energy Recovery Efficiency at the Utah FORGE Site project by The University of Texas at Austin, presented by Professor Mukul M. Sharma. The project's objectives were to place f...
This paper documents our effort to use a fully coupled hydro-geomechanical numerical test bed to study using low hydraulic pressure to stimulate geothermal reservoirs with existing fracture network. In this low pressure stimulation strategy, fluid pressure is lower than the minimu...
This contains a final technical report and closeout presentation recording summarizing the results from Utah FORGE Project 5-2557 on the role of fluid pressure and temperature in fracture mechanics and coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical (THMC) processes relevant to enhanced ...
This file contains a list of relevant references on the Biot theory (forward and inverse approaches), the double-porosity and dual-permeability theory, and seismic wave propagation in fracture porous media, in RIS format, to approach seismic monitoring in a complex fractured porou...
On April 21, 2022, sewer camera surveys were conducted in boreholes TN and TL as part of Experiment 2 of the EGS Collab project. These surveys were performed during fluid injection into three zones in borehole TC to identify the depths of active fracture intersections. The goal wa...
Hydraulic fracturing is currently the primary method for stimulating low-permeability geothermal reservoirs and creating Enhanced (or Engineered) Geothermal Systems (EGS) with improved permeability and heat production efficiency. Complex natural fracture systems usually exist in ...
This dataset contains black-and-white photographic images of individual core segments from well Preston 119 and photomicrographs taken of petrographic thin sections from well Clay 513. Minipermeameter measurement results of 2,260 samples for fracture and matrix permeability on cor...
Effective enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) require optimal fracture networks for efficient heat transfer between hot rock and fluid. Microseismic mapping is a key tool used to infer the subsurface fracture geometry. Traditional earthquake detection and location techniques are oft...
This is a presentation on Proppants for Fracture Conductivity Enhancement and Reservoir Characterization in EGS by the University of Oklahoma, presented by Dr. Ahmad Ghassemi. The project is evaluating and developing high-temperature proppant materials to enhance fracture conducti...
