Rheology data obtained from flow loop tests, performed using different lost circulation materials (LCM) to study their effect on fluid rheology and wellbore hydraulics. The sealing performance of different LCM was tested using different fracture sizes. Five academic papers / repor...
This report is the third in a series of reports sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy Geothermal Technologies Program in which a range of water-related issues surrounding geothermal power production are evaluated. The first report made an initial attempt at quantifying the li...
The problem of loss circulation in geothermal wells is inherently challenging due to high temperatures, brittle rocks, and presence of abundant fractures. Because of the inherent challenges in geothermal environments, there are limitations in selecting proper lost circulation mate...
Data, logs, and graphics associated with the drilling and testing of Utah FORGE deep test well 58-32 (MU-ESW1) near Roosevelt Hot Springs.
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 materials testing report is based on thermoplastic and elastomeric materia...
This dataset provides a set of experimental data on the performance of lost circulation materials (LCMs) used in geothermal drilling operations. It includes results from four distinct tests: thermal degradation, viscosity measurements, compression tests, and high-temperature flow ...
This 2024 annual report for Phase 3B Year 2 at Utah FORGE provides an in-depth account of activities and advancements made at the site. Key achievements include drilling and stimulating the production well 16B(78)-32, creating a geothermal reservoir, and achieving commercial-scale...
The Newberry Volcano EGS Demonstration in central Oregon, a 5 year project begun 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 ru...
This report describes a comprehensive review of 49 existing supercritical geothermal wells to inform future geothermal drilling attempts and avoid previous failure points and understand material and testing limitations, while collating information gathered in a publicly accessible...
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 engineering design and specification document contains the applications, specifications, testing, materials, and running methods for the Open-Hole Packer. The Open Hole Packer is designed to seal 8.5 to 9.75 inch open-holes with a 7 inch casing. The design is intended to seal...
This is a YouTube video containing the specifics of well planning for Utah FORGE 16B(78)-32. This well will be drilled as a doublet approximately 300 feet parallel to and above 16A(78)-32 and will be drilled between approximately April 15th and July 17th 2023.
Objectives
Options associated with geothermal drilling operations are generally limited by factors such as formation temperature and rock strength. The objective of the research is to expand the "tool box" available to the geothermal driller by furthering the development of a hig...
A map showing location of wells permitted, drilled and seismic test, as part of validation of innovative exploration technologies done for the Newberry Volcano project in 2012.
The problem of loss circulation in geothermal wells is inherently challenging due to high temperatures, brittle rocks, and presence of abundant fractures. Because of the inherent challenges in geothermal environments, there are limitations in selecting proper lost circulation mate...
Data from high temperature dynamic sealing tests for various fracture widths, at various temperatures (degrees F), with 5 wt.% bentonite-based mud containing various material fiber contents, at 100 to 400 psi differential pressure.
Data from pressure test and evaluation of the dy...
High-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) lost circulation material (LCM) rheology test results, LCM particle size distributions (PSD) analysis, and HPHT LCM fluid loss test results. Three academic papers / reports derived from this research are also presented.
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 ...
Thermal conductivity (TC) data taken for different wells at a specified drill depth. This is an abridged version of the complete SMU heat flow database, downloaded from the SMU node of the NGDS at the beginning of INGENIOUS (approximately April 2021), and filtered to the INGENIOUS...
The Snake River volcanic province (SRP) overlies a thermal anomaly that extends deep into the mantle; it represents one of the highest heat flow provinces in North America. The primary goal of this project is to evaluate geothermal potential in three distinct settings: (1) Kimama ...
Well data for the INEL-1 well located in eastern Snake River Plain, Idaho. This data collection includes caliper logs, lithology reports, borehole logs, temperature at depth data, neutron density and gamma data, full color logs, fracture analysis, photos, and rock strength paramet...
The data set shows performance of economical calcium phosphate cement (Fondu) blended with fly ash, class F (FAF) in carbon steel corrosion protection tests (corrosion rate, corrosion current and potential), bond and matrix strength, as well as matrix strength recovery after impos...
This submission includes geophone data collected by Schlumberger from Utah FORGE Phase 2C seismic monitoring well 78-32 during stimulation testing of well 58-32. The data are hosted by the Center for High Performance Computing (CHPC) at the University of Utah, and a script for dow...
This dataset compiles information on geothermal wells drilled into supercritical and near-supercritical conditions, with a focus on drilling and completion materials, fluid chemistry, and laboratory validation studies. The data are drawn from well reports, scientific literature, a...
This collection includes datasets used for the analyses and modeling of low-temperature geothermal resources at the U.S. Army's Detroit Arsenal located in Warren, Michigan. This project file includes tabular and geospatial data accessed from publicly available repositories held by...
