Information around the plug-and-perf treatment design at Utah FORGE by Fervo Energy.
Objective and Purpose:
Develop a multistage hydraulic stimulation approach designed specifically to target the top three factors that control the technical and commercial viability of an EGS sys...
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 pipe preparation report is based on the test pipe that was procured and pr...
This paper discusses the progress on a project funded by the DOE Utah FORGE (Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy) for the development of a subsurface heat exchanger for Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) using unique casing sleeves cemented in place and are used ...
This dataset consists of all of the pressure pumping data for Utah FORGE Well16A78-32 fracturing stages, Well 16B78-32 fracturing stages, and a 9-hour circulation test which took place after all of the frac plugs were drilled out. Fracturing in the wells took place in stages from ...
Newberry Volcano in Central Oregon is the site of a Department of Energy funded Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) Demonstration Project. Stimulation and production of an EGS is a strong perturbation to the physical and chemical environment, giving rise to coupled Thermal-Hydrologic...
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 ...
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 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,...
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 large-scale set-up report is about the system that has been constructed to...
Subsurface data analysis, reservoir modeling, and machine learning (ML) techniques have been applied to the Brady Hot Springs (BHS) geothermal field in Nevada, USA to further characterize the subsurface and assist with optimizing reservoir management. Hundreds of reservoir simulat...
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...
This is a presentation on the Design and Implementation of Innovative Stimulation Treatments to Maximize Energy Recovery Efficiency at the Utah FORGE Site project by The University of Texas at Austin, presented by Professor Mukul M. Sharma. The project's objectives were to place f...
This is a project description video by Dr. William W. Fleckenstein related to their "Development of Multi-Stage Fracturing System and Wellbore Tractor to Enable Zonal Isolation During Stimulation and EGS Operations in Horizontal Wellbores" R&D project at Utah FORGE which is linked...
This file contains the first set of tracer data for the EGS Collab testbed. The first set of tracer tests were conducted during October-November, 2018. We have included tracer data for C-dots, chloride, fluorescein, and rhodamine-B. The details about the tracer test can be found i...
This is a presentation and materials on the Design and Implementation of Innovative Stimulation Treatments to Maximize Energy Recovery Efficiency at the Utah FORGE Site project by The University of Texas at Austin, presented by Professor Mukul M. Sharma. The project's objectives w...
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...
This dataset contains geochemical analyses of produced fluids from the Utah FORGE site, specifically from wells 16A(78)-32, 16B(78)-32, and 58-32, collected during various stimulation, flowback, and circulation tests conducted between 2022 and 2024. The data contains element conce...
This data archive includes the relocated microseismic event catalog from distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) acquisition conducted during the 16A-16B circulation tests that took place in July 2023. These results update the catalog presented in GDR 1613 (the preliminary catalog, lin...
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...
This data archive includes the relocated microseismic event catalog and 3D velocity model from DAS acquisition conducted during the 16A stimulations that took place between April 3rd and April 7th, 2024. The catalog consists of multiple CSV files, each named after the associated s...
This dataset contains distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) microseismic event triggers (raw waveforms) recorded during the 16A-16B stimulations conducted at the Utah FORGE site in April 2024. The dataset consists of raw waveform data provided in nanostrain rate units, accompanied by...
The EGS Collab is conducting experiments in hydraulic fracturing at a depth of 1.5 km in the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) on the 4850 Level. A total of eight ~60m-long subhorizontal boreholes were drilled at that depth on the western rib of the West Access Drift. S...
Hydraulic fracturing is currently the primary method for stimulating low-permeability geothermal reservoirs and creating Enhanced (or Engineered) Geothermal Systems (EGS) with improved permeability and heat production efficiency. Complex natural fracture systems usually exist in ...
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 EGS Collab Experiment took place at the Sanford Underground Research Facility at the Homestake gold mine in Lead, SD, USA. Distributed fiber optic sensing temperature data is included in this dataset for this experiment.
A single loop of custom fiber package was grouted into ...
