Utah FORGE: DAS Microseismic Event Records From April 2024 Stimulation Experiment
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 channel coordinate information. The raw waveform data is stored in SEG-Y formats in an AWS S3 cloud based data lake where it can be accessed programmatically via the AWS CLI and tools like the boto3 Python library. The data was collected as part of the FOGMORE@FORGE R&D project (Utah FORGE Project 3-2417). Data were acquired using Silixa Carina and Silixa iDAS v2 systems on fiber optic cables installed in Well 16B(78)-32 and 78B, with further details available in the Utah FORGE fiber-optic cable installation report included in this submission. For additional information on this data please see the included README file.
Please note that 16A-10 is also referred to as 16A-6R in some archives.
