This archive contains a report on the Mineral Mountains West fault system as part of phase 2C and the evidence for the northern terminus of this structure. Geologic field mapping, reprocessing of 3D seismic reflection data, and soil gas surveys contributed to this effort.
ASCII text files containing grid-block name, X-Y-Z location, and multiple parameters from TOUGH2 simulation output of CO2 injection into an idealized single fault representing a dipping normal fault at the Desert Peak geothermal field (readable by GMS). The fault is composed of a ...
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.
Datas...
The Geothermal Exploration Artificial Intelligence looks to use machine learning to spot geothermal identifiers from land maps. This is done to remotely detect geothermal sites for the purpose of energy uses. Such uses include enhanced geothermal system (EGS) applications, especia...
This submission contains a number of data files with vertices of meshed/interpolated surfaces used in the Phase 2B earth model. Examples include land surface (based on 10-meter DEM), the granitoid-basin fill contact, several faults, and also interpolated temperature isosurfaces f...
Included are results from shear reactivation experiments on laboratory faults pre-loaded close to failure and reactivated by the injection of fluid into the fault. The sample comprises a single-inclined-fracture (SIF) transecting a cylindrical sample of Westerly granite.
All expe...
Conceptual model for the Newberry Caldera geothermal area. Model is centered around caldera and evaluates geologic information in tandem with some geophysical datasets to derive a conceptual subsurface model.
Includes:
Geologic information from the USGS geologic map of Newberry...
Included are a report and data from triaxial shear tests on simulated Sierra White fault gouge and a borehole stimulation experiment. This serves as a progress report for the Role of Fluid and Temperature in Fracture Mechanics and Coupled Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical-Chemical (THMC) P...
This is a link to the Utah Geological Survey's Utah FORGE Interactive Geoscience Map. The map layers include information on geology, geography, subsurface temperatures, seismicity, gravity and groundwater. Instructions for using the interactive map and a legend for the interactive...
Slip and dilation tendency on the Great Basin fault surfaces (from the USGS Quaternary Fault Database) were calculated using 3DStress (software produced by Southwest Research Institute).
Slip and dilation tendency are both unitless ratios of the resolved stresses applied to the f...
The Engineered Geothermal System (EGS) Exploration Methodology Project is developing an exploration approach for EGS through the integration of geoscientific data. The Project chose the Dixie Valley Geothermal System in Nevada as a field laboratory site for methodlogy calibration...
Newberry Volcano, a voluminous (500 km3) basaltic/andesitic/rhyolitic shield volcano located near the intersection of the Cascade volcanic arc, the Oregon High Lava Plains and Brothers Fault Zone, and the northern Basin and Range Province, has been the site of geothermal explorati...
The STRESSINVERSE code uses an iterative method to find the nodal planes most consistent with the stress field given fault frictional properties. STRESINVERSE inverts the strike, rake and dip from moment tensor solutions for the in-situ state of stress. The code iteratively solves...
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 ...
The 3D geologic model for the Fallon for site was constructed in EarthVision software using methods similar to (Moeck et al., 2009, 2010; Faulds et al., 2010b; Jolie et al., 2012, 2015; Hinz et al., 2013a; Siler and Faulds, 2013; Siler et al., 2016a, b) References are included in ...
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...
Conceptual model for the Newberry Caldera geothermal area. Model is centered around caldera and evaluates multiple geophysical datasets to derive a conceptual subsurface model.
Includes:
Conductor layer based on transient electromagnetic data from Fitterman et al., 1988 (figure...
This dataset contains results from five laboratory shear experiments on gneiss and granitoid samples from the Utah FORGE site, conducted at Penn State University. The experiments investigate links between fault surface roughness, frictional behavior, permeability, and P-wave acous...
Laboratory slide-hold-slide tests were conducted in a conventional triaxial deformation configuration on 1-inch diameter cylindrical cores of Westerly granite bisected by a sawcut oriented at 30 degrees from vertical. Tests were conducted at a constant confining pressure of 30 MPa...
Archive of ArcGIS data from the West Flank FORGE site located in Coso, California. Archive contains the following eight shapefiles:
Polygon of the 3D geologic model (WestFlank3DGeologicModelExtent)
Polylines of the traces 3D modeled faults (WestFlank3DModeledFaultTraces)
Polyline...
This submission includes a shapefile of the Opal Mound Fault, and multiple datasets of lineaments mapped in the Mineral Mountains which overlook the Utah FORGE site, hyperlinked to rose diagrams in a polygon grid shapefile.
This submission contains the final technical report and closeout presentation for Utah FORGE Project 5-2419, which investigates the coupled evolution of permeability and induced seismicity in enhanced geothermal systems using laboratory experiments, field observations, and nonline...
The EGS Collab experiment 2 was focused on testing shear stimulation techniques. Shear stimulation, in this case, means using hydraulic pressure to cause shear slip on preexisting fracture or fault planes such that the hydraulic conductivity of the fracture or fault increases. The...
The paper linked below offers an initial assessment of a new method to target potential geothermal resources on the regional scale. The method is based on seeking relationships between geologic structures and geodetic observations of regional tectonic strain.
This submission has two shapefiles and a tiff image. The weights of evidence analysis was applied to data representing heat of the earth and fracture permeability using training sites around the Southwest; this is shown in the tiff image. A shapefile of surface temperature anomali...
