Utah FORGE 3-2535: Report on Borehole EM Data Collection and Imaging with the VEMP Field System
This report outlines electromagnetic field measurements that were made after stimulation at Utah FORGE in May of 2024. The measurements involved lowering an electrode to ~3500' in well 16A to energize the steel casing as part of the electric source, with the return electrode located on the surface approximately 1km to the west. Three component magnetic field measurements were made with the VEMP tool in well 78-32B starting at just below the casing shoe in the open hole and moving upward at 100m increments. Due to noise in the system and other problems, only vertical field measurements were completed over the whole interval.
