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...
This is the final technical report documenting laboratory experiments and modeling conducted to characterize the thermo-poromechanical behavior of fractured crystalline rocks for application to Utah FORGE. The report includes measurements of poroelastic and thermo-poroelastic prop...
This dataset includes position coordinates and elevation information for wells at the WHOLESCALE San Emidio project location. Well positions in the attached file are characterized by UTM coordinates (Easting, Northing) in meters, and WHOLESCALE coordinates (Easting, Northing) rel...
This is a presentation on the Application of Advanced Techniques for Determination of Reservoir-Scale Stress State at Utah FORGE project by the University of Oklahoma, presented by Dr. Ahmad Ghassemi, McCasland Chair Professor. The project's objective was to develop a methodology ...
The Portland and Tualatin basins are part of the Puget-Willamette Lowland in the Cascadia forearc of Oregon and Washington. The Coast Range to the west has undergone Paleogene transtension and Neogene transpression, which is reflected in basin stratigraphy. To better understand th...
This dataset provides mass flux rates in kg/s from six (production and injection) wells at San Emidio at minute intervals from December 1, 2016 December 15, 2016. Files for injection wells are named with "IW", for instance "WellIW42-21SI.csv", and include negative flux rates. Fil...
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 evolution of flow pattern along a single fracture and its effects on heat production is a fundamental problem in the assessments of engineered geothermal systems (EGS). The channelized flow pattern associated with ubiquitous heterogeneity in fracture aperture distribution caus...
This is a presentation on the Seismicity-Permeability Relationships Probed via Nonlinear Acoustic Imaging project by Pennsylvania State University, presented by Derek Elsworth. The project's objectives were to explore controls and acoustic signatures of aseismic through seismic ev...
This dataset contains numerical simulation meshes and modeling results from extended circulation and pulse interference tests conducted between Utah FORGE wells 16A(78)-32 and 16B(78)-32. The simulations were performed as part of the FOGMORE Utah FORGE project (Fiber Optic MOnitor...
This is a presentation on the Experimental Determination and Modeling-Informed Analysis of Thermo-poromechanical Response of Fractured Rock for Application to Utah FORGE project by the University of Oklahoma, presented by Dr. Ahmad Ghassemi, McCasland Chair Prof. The project objec...

Slip and Dilation Tendency in focus areas
Critically stressed fault segments have a relatively high likelihood of acting as fluid flow conduits (Sibson, 1994). As such, the tendency of a fault segment to slip (slip tendency; Ts; Morris et al., 1996) or to dilate (dilation tendency...
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 is a presentation on Integrating Tracer Huff-Puff Tests and Geomechanical Analysis to Measure Evolution of the Fracture Network in EGS Reservoirs by California State University Long Beach, presented by Prof. Matthew Becker. This video slide presentation describes the use of h...
This contains a final technical report and closeout presentation recording summarizing the results from Utah FORGE Project 5-2557 on the role of fluid pressure and temperature in fracture mechanics and coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical (THMC) processes relevant to enhanced ...
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 is a presentation on the Fiber-Optic Geophysical Monitoring of Reservoir Evolution by Rice University, presented by Jonathan Ajo-Franklin. This video slide presentation discusses the development of an end-to-end fiber-optic sensing approach for EGS to track the (1) initial zo...
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...
This is a presentation on the Evolution of Permeability and Strength Recovery of Shear Fractures Under Hydrothermal Conditions project by the U.S. Geological Survey, presented by Dr. David Lockner. The project's objective was to determine how thermal, hydraulic, mechanical, and ch...
Understanding the initiation and arrest of earthquakes is one of the long-standing challenges of seismology. Here we report on direct observations of borehole displacement by a meter-sized shear rupture induced by pressurization of metamorphic rock at 1.5 km depth. We observed the...
Links to URL's with latest position time-series of GPS stations SEMN, SEMS, and GARL at the San Emidio Desert Geothermal Area as well as URL with links to archived RINEX files. The data is being taken as part of the WHOLESCALE project for the purpose of developing a protocol for s...
This is a presentation on the Evolution of Permeability and Strength Recovery of Shear Fractures Under Hydrothermal Conditions by United States Geological Survey, presented by Tamara Jeppson. This video slide presentation, by the USGS, discusses the determination of how thermal, ...
This report discusses the results of research on the ability to create and/or reactivate and subsequently sustain fracture systems which are strongly influenced by complexly coupled mechanical (M) and chemical (C) processes in reservoirs forced from equilibrium by hydraulic stimul...
