EGS field projects have not sustained production at rates greater than 1/2 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, igneo...
Fabricated SiC diodes are tested in the temperature range of 300 degrees C to 600 degrees C.
This a report for the project "Mapping Fracture Network Creation with Microseismicity During EGS Demonstrations". Effective enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) require optimal fracture networks for efficient heat transfer between hot rock and fluid. Microseismic mapping is a key too...
Geothermometry Mapping of Deep Hydrothermal Reservoirs in Southeastern Idaho. Project final report with detail appendices.
Test report for detonation velocity measurements. A series of tests were conducted to determine reaction rate and general behavior of aluminum (AL) and magnesium (MG) powder mixtures (metalized explosives) with Bullseye double-base smokeless propellant. Given the indeterminate sen...
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.
Data include 222Rn activities and complimentary geochemical data for multiple field experiments as part of an EGS project
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...
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 ...
This paper describes the applications of the fractured continuum model to the different enhanced geothermal systems reservoir conditions. The capability of the fractured continuum model to generate fracture characteristics expected in enhanced geothermal systems reservoir environm...
This data file is for the hydroshear simulation lab test 3.2. The two previous hydroshear simulation lab tests are linked in the resources section as GDR submissions. In this test a sample of granite with a pre-cut (man made fracture) is confined, heated and differential stress is...
These data detail results from preliminary pH and reference electrode tests. The intention of this experiment is to test a novel High Temperature Chemical Sensing Tool for Distributed Mapping of Fracture Flow in EGS. 3 reference stability, a commercial reference, commercial stabil...
For enhanced or Engineered Geothermal Systems (EGS) geothermal brine is pumped to the surface via the production wells, the heat extracted to turn a turbine to generate electricity, and the spent brine re-injected via injection wells back underground. If designed properly, the sub...
According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), geothermal energy generation in the United States is projected to more than triple by 2040 (EIA 2013). This addition, which translates to more than 5 GW of generation capacity, is anti...
This entry contains raw data files from experiments performed on the Vulcan beamline at the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory using a pressure cell. Cylindrical granite and marble samples were subjected to confining pressures of either 0 psi or approximate...
Spreadsheet containing the raw measured data, calibrated data, and brief explanation of data for Test1 Stripa Granite Geomechanical/Geochemical Test. Stress on fracture ~20.7 MPa.
This folder contains X-ray CT images and an explanation related to the shear induced permeability testing of Stripa granite
Research references to literature about the Newberry geothermal area, Oregon.
Datasets and information used to characterize the subsurface of Newberry and support modeling efforts. Includes sources for well logs, earthquakes, maps & cross-sections, and LiDAR/DEM
Lab-scale stimulation was performed on Coso samples obtained from a single core (1623 feet TVD, reservoir Coso CGC 18-27) using StimuFrac and control fluid in the absence of stimuli-responsive polymer.
FY13 annual report describing the calculations and results associated with the data and dissolution rate contained in "Chlorite Kinetic Dissolution Data and Rate" (linked below).
Initial 3D gravity results from Zonge Int'l recorded for the 4D EGS Monitoring project at Newberry, during stimulation of Well 55-29 by AltaRock Energy
Numerical modeling of the 2011 shear stimulation at the Desert Peak Well 27-15 using a coupled thermal-hydrological-mechanical simulator. This submission contains the finite element heat and mass transfer (FEHM) executable code for a 64-bit PC Windows-7 machine, and the input and ...
Lab-scale stimulation work on non-porous fused silica (similar mechanical properties to igneous rock) was performed using pure water, pure CO2 and water/CO2 mixtures to compare back to back fracturing performance of these fluids with PNNL's StimuFrac.
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...
