Utah FORGE 1-2551: Final Report and Presentation on Development of Multi-Stage Fracturing System and Wellbore Tractor to Enable Zonal Isolation During Stimulation and EGS Operations in Horizontal Wellbores
This dataset contains the final technical report for the CSM project, conducted by the Colorado School of Mines and project partners to address materials and wellbore challenges in high-temperature geothermal environments. The report documents research activities carried out to design, characterize, and validate a novel casing and wellbore solution intended for use in geothermal wells. It includes background, modeling, laboratory testing, manufacturing considerations, and performance evaluation under geothermal-relevant pressure and temperature conditions, with results supporting potential deployment in field-scale geothermal applications such as Utah FORGE.
