Utah FORGE: Tensor Strainmeter Data for the April, 2024 Stimulation of Wells 16A(78)-32 and 16B(78)-32
This dataset contains time series data from the four Tensor Optical Fiber Strainmeters at Utah FORGE, recorded during all stages of the April 2024 hydraulic stimulations of wells 16A(78)-32 and 16B(78)-32. The data span from midnight UTC on April 4 through April 18, 2024, and are provided as human-readable comma-separated value (CSV) text files. Each file includes two header lines describing the contents of each column and the corresponding units.
Strain data were originally recorded at 2 Hz and have been downsampled to 300-second (5 minutes) and 3600-second (1 hour) intervals. The dataset includes calibrated strain measurements, barometric pressure, and downsampled treatment pressures and slurry rates for both wells. Complete details on station metadata, column descriptions, data units, and processing methods are provided in the included README file. The processed data are derived from raw waveforms archived at the IRIS Data Management Center under network code 2J.
