This submission includes data accompanying the paper titled, "Isotropic components of microseismic moment tensors at Utah FORGE reveal a diversity of fluid pathway creation processes in EGS development." Included are the pre-calculated Green's functions used to calculate the momen...
This report describes minifrac tests conducted in the 16B(78)-32 well at the Utah FORGE site to characterize subsurface stresses, including the magnitude and orientation of the minimum and maximum horizontal stresses and the magnitude of the vertical stress. A minifrac test was co...
Widespread adoption of geothermal energy will require access to deeply buried resources in granitic basement rocks at high temperatures and pressures. Exploiting these resources necessitates novel methods for drilling, stimulation, and maintenance, under operating conditions that ...
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 is a presentation on the Probabilistic Estimation of Seismic Response Using Physics-Informed Recurrent Neural Networks by GTC Analytics, presented by Jesse Williams. This video slide presentation discusses the development of machine learning-based predictive tools to estimate...
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 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 is a presentation on the Probabilistic Estimation of Seismic Response Using Physics-Informed Recurrent Neural Networks by GTC Analytics, presented by Dr. Jesse Williams. This video slide presentation discusses the development of machine learning-based predictive tools to esti...
This is a presentation on the Determination and Modeling-Informed Analysis of Thermo-poromechanical Response of Fractured Rock for Application to FORGE by the University of Oklahoma, presented by Ahmad Ghassemi. This video presentation discusses how to improve understanding and co...
This is a presentation on Probabilistic Estimation of Seismic Response Using Physics-Informed Recurrent Neural Networks by GTC Analytics (Global Technology Connection), presented by Dr. Jesse Williams. The project is developing machine-learning and physics-informed models to impro...
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 ...
EGS field projects have not sustained production at rates greater than 1/2 of what is needed for economic viability. The primary limitation that makes commercial EGS infeasible is our current inability to cost-effectively create high-permeability reservoirs from impermeable, igneo...
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...
This package contains triggered 3-component surface nodal seismic waveforms recorded during the FOAL 1 experiment, or FORGE Observation Array Linear #1, which occurred during the April 2022 hydraulic stimulation of well 16A(78)-32 at the Utah FORGE EGS site. This data was utilized...
This dataset includes Rayleigh Frequency Shift (RFS) Distributed Strain Sensing (DSS) cumulative strain change and change rate data. The data was acquired during the stimulation of Utah FORGE Well 16A(78)-32 in April 2024 via fiber installed in Well 16B(78)-32. The fiber optic da...
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 dataset contains results from laboratory direct shear experiments performed on tension-induced fractures in Sierra White granite under saturated conditions at target temperatures of 50 C and 100 C. The data were collected using a custom water-pressurized chamber equipped with...
The steel pipe experiment conducted in the lab was using 6 meter low-carbon steel pipe. We tested it with both dry and in-water condition. In the dry experimental setup, a coaxial cable acting as a return path in the air.
This preliminary data archive includes meteorological data recorded at the Utah FORGE facility over the period of time including the 16A/16B stimulation activities, largely March/April/May of 2024. This information may prove useful for understanding seismic and other instrumentati...
The solid Earth strains in response to the gravitational pull from the Moon, Sun, and other planetary bodies. Measuring the flexure of geologic material in response to these Earth tides provides information about the geomechanical properties of rock and sediment. Such measurements...
This is a technical report for the Probabilistic Estimation of Seismic Response Using Physics Informed Recurrent Neural Networks project. The report describes the process of designing a recurrent neural network (RNN) to predict induced seismicity. Background material is included t...
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,...
This is an Excel spreadsheet that contains rock properties from several wells in the Utah FORGE study area. This includes a map of the wells. Data is described in the Final Topical Report included in the resources below.
This catalog contains microseismic event locations recorded during the April 2024 stimulation at the Utah FORGE site. Events were detected and located using a DAS-specific source imaging workflow that avoids conventional phase picking. Instead, STA/LTA-transformed DAS and downhole...
This dataset documents the FORGE 2024 stress-shadow seismic survey done in collaboration with the EarthScope Consortium. Original seismic waveform data are archived through EarthScope/NSF SAGE dataset 24-021. This GDR submission provides a link to the original EarthScope archive. ...
