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 ...
This archive contains data and a report from Pulse Interference Tests (PITs), which were conducted on September 4, 2024, immediately following a 30-day recirculation test at the Utah FORGE site. Injection and backflow were induced in well 16A(78)-32 while pressures were measured i...
This report documents a series of block-scale hydraulic fracturing experiments, simulating Utah FORGE conditions to investigate how different combinations of in situ stress regimes, well orientations, and thermal stress conditions influence fracture initiation and propagation. The...
This dataset contains results from controlled shear reactivation experiments performed on cylindrical Westerly and granitoid granite samples with a single inclined fracture. Laboratory faults were pre-loaded near failure and reactivated by fluid injection to examine relationships ...
Borehole W1 is a NQ core hole drilled at our test site in Socorro. The rock is rhyolite. Borehole W1 which was used to test gas-gas explosive mixtures is 55 feet deep with casing (pinkish in the drawing) set to 35 feet. The model is a representation of the borehole and the hol...
Active source ultrasonic data from lab experiments p5270 and p5271 including raw waveforms (WF) and mechanical data (mat). From the PSU team working on the "Machine Learning Approaches to Predicting Induced Seismicity and Imaging Geothermal Reservoir Properties" project. The fric...
The U.S. Department of Energy's (U.S. DOE) Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE) is a field laboratory that provides a unique opportunity to develop and test new technologies for characterizing, creating and sustaining Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) in ...
This regards a high-resolution DAS microseismic dataset produced by Silixa from Utah FORGE Phase 2C seismic monitoring well 78-32 during stimulation testing of well 58-32. It is a very large dataset and as such it is currently not directly available on GDR. However, it is availabl...
This is the first project report and induced seismicity mitigation plan for the Newberry Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) Demonstration project. The primary objectives of this first phase were to obtain necessary permits and comply with all regulations, including NEPA, communica...
We investigate the flow-channeling phenomenon caused by thermal drawdown in fractured geothermal reservoirs. A discrete fracture network-based, fully coupled thermal "hydrological" mechanical simulator is used to study the interactions between fluid flow, temperature change, and t...
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...
This submittal includes the field-test data collected during stress tests conducted in the Utah FORGE 16B(78)-32 wellbore to measure/characterize the stresses in the geothermal reservoir. The type of stress test performed is referred to as a mini-frac test or a micro-frac test. Th...
Input and output files used for fault characterization through numerical simulation using iTOUGH2. The synthetic data for the push period are generated by running a forward simulation (input parameters are provided in iTOUGH2 Brady GF6 Input Parameters.txt [InvExt6i.txt]). In gene...
This is a presentation on the Optimization and Validation of a Plug-and-Perf Stimulation Treatment Design at Utah FORGE project by Fervo Energy, presented by Sireesh Dadi. The project's objective was to develop a multistage hydraulic stimulation approach designed specifically to t...
This dataset includes results and supporting documentation from tracer tests conducted in 2024 at Utah FORGE. The tests involved injecting nanoparticle tracers into injection well 16A(78)-32 and monitoring their recovery in production well 16B(78)-32 to assess hydraulic connectivi...
This is a presentation on Designing, Characterizing & Optimizing Proppant and Flow Monitoring Materials for a Utah FORGE Engineered Geothermal System by Oklahoma State University, presented by Dr. Mileva Radonjic. The project is developing advanced proppant materials, flow-monitor...
This dataset contains results from four fluid injection experiments at 24 C, 69 C, 111 C, and 140 C using a triaxial loading apparatus ("Temco"). Tests were conducted on a Utah FORGE granite sample with a 30 degree inclined fracture. Confining pressure was maintained at 10 MPa, wh...
Low permeability geothermal reservoirs can be stimulated by hydraulic fracturing to create Enhanced (or Engineered) Geothermal Systems (EGS) with higher permeability and improved heat transfer to increase heat production. In this paper, we document our effort to develop a numerica...
Characterizing the stimulation mode of a fracture is critical to assess the hydraulic efficiency and the seismic risk related to deep fluid manipulations. We have monitored the three-dimensional displacements of a fluid-driven fracture during water injections in a borehole at ~1.5...
This submission contains datasets and a final manuscript associated with a project simulating carbon dioxide push-pull into a conjugate fault system modeled after Dixie Valley-
sensitivity analysis of significant parameters and uncertainty prediction by data-worth analysis.

This dataset consists of a comprehensive report documenting the stimulation program conducted in May 2024 on Utah FORGE wells 16A(78)-32 and 16B(78)-32. It includes detailed accounts of operational and scientific objectives, stimulation methodologies, and testing outcomes. The rep...
The main goal of this project is to develop an annular isolation system capable to withstand geothermal downhole conditions and mitigate the problems experienced by conventional packers in FORGE wells. This presentation outlines the work in rock modelling and interaction with the ...
This is a presentation on the Strain Sensing Array to Characterize Deformation at the FORGE Site project by Clemson University, presented by Lawrence Murdoch. The project's objective was to evaluate the feasibility of measuring and interpreting tensor strain data to improve the pe...
This is a presentation on Thermo Re-Settable Straddle System by PetroQuip Energy Services, presented by Robert Coon. The project is developing a high-temperature, re-settable straddle system capable of isolating and testing multiple open-hole sections in geothermal wells under Uta...
This dataset contains a microseismic event catalog acquired during the Frisco pad flow test project led by Fervo Energy, conducted between July 17th Sept 5th 2024, near the Utah FORGE geothermal site. The microseismic events are located using data collected from various Utah FORGE...
