Utah FORGE 4-2541: Final Report and Presentation on Optimization and Validation of a Plug and Perf Stimulation Treatment Design
This dataset contains the final technical report and closeout presentation for Utah FORGE Project 4-2541, which focused on the optimization and validation of a multistage plug and perf stimulation treatment design for enhanced geothermal systems. The report documents drilling, completion, and stimulation of a fully horizontal geothermal injection well and a vertical monitoring well equipped with permanent fiber-optic DAS/DTS and pressure/temperature instrumentation, along with detailed analysis of stimulation performance, flow allocation, fracture geometry, injectivity, and induced seismicity. Results informed and supported subsequent stimulation operations at Utah FORGE and demonstrate the technical viability of plug and perf stimulation strategies for commercial/scale EGS deployment.
