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 ...
Included are experimental data recorded from shear experiments that specifically explore the link between fluid-injection rate and seismic moment resulting from shear reactivation of laboratory faults. Raw mechanical data from three experiments are included alongside corresponding...
The EGS Collab project is developing ~10-20 m-scale field sites where fracture stimulation and flow models can be validated against controlled, small-scale, in-situ experiments. The first multi-well experimental site was established at the 4850 level in the Homestake Mine in Lead,...
Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) can provide a sustainable and renewable solution to the new energy transition. Its potential relies on the ability to create a reservoir and to accurately evaluate its evolving hydraulic properties to predict fluid flow and estimate ultimate therm...
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...
Plugging of fracture porosity from mineral precipitation due to injecting cold water into a a geothermal reservoir can impact the overall permeability of the fracture network in the reservoir. This can have serious ramifications on the efficiency of the geothermal resource. Geoche...
Geothermal power plants typically show decreasing heat and power production rates over time. Mitigation strategies include optimizing the management of existing wells increasing or decreasing the fluid flow rates across the wells and drilling new wells at appropriate locations. Th...
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 project focused on assessment and discovery of fluid-rock interaction in geothermal reservoirs. We accomplished work in four main areas: 1) fracture formation and the relationship between fluid flow and shear failure, 2) assessment of fracture geometry and fluid permeability ...
These data and test descriptions comprise a chilled circulation test conducted at the 164' fracture in the EGS Collab Experiment 1 testbed on the 4850 ft level of the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Descriptions of the meta data, design drawings for the flow testing system,...
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 submission contains pressure and flow time series data from the reservoir testing of Well 58-32. These activities were part of the Utah FORGE Phase 2B site suitability confirmatory testing.
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 dataset contains experimental and acoustic data from shear reactivation tests that investigate the relationship between fluid-injection rate, pore pressure distribution, and seismic moment during laboratory fault slip. It includes raw mechanical data and acoustic emission rec...
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 dataset contains the final technical report and closeout presentation for Utah FORGE Project 4-2541, which focused on the optimization and validation of a multistage plug and perf stimulation treatment design for enhanced geothermal systems. The report documents drilling, com...
This package includes data from two days of testing at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) on the 4100 level. The tests were performed in borehole TV4100 in the battery charging alcove south of the Yates shaft. TV4100 is a vertical borehole ~50 meters deep. A series o...
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...
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.

This archive contains data from the tracer test performed during the Utah FORGE well 16A(78)-32 stimulation. This includes: the raw data file from Pason in the csv format, a one-page Word document from Pason that explains the headers and units used in their data file, an Excel spr...
This submission includes processed and reduced data for circulation testing that was conducted at the 164' fracture on the 4850 ft level of the Sanford Underground Research Facility. The circulation tests were done to test the flow through the 164' fracture in the EGS Collab Exper...
These are production logging tests (PLT) results from Halliburton collected during the nine hour circulation test performed at Utah FORGE on April 27th, 2024. The circulation test involved injecting into well 16A(78)-32 and producing out of well 16B(78)-32) and was carried out af...
