Utah FORGE: DAS and Downhole Geophone Data from the August-September 2024 Circulation Test

In progress License 

This dataset contains distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) and downhole geophone data collected during the August-September 2024 circulation period at the Utah FORGE site. The DAS data were acquired from well 16B(78)-32 as continuous H5 records during circulation operations. Embedded file metadata includes strain-rate measurements, GPS timing, 10 m gauge length, 500 Hz maximum frequency, and 1000 Hz output data rate. The DAS data include records from August 2024 into September 2024.

The dataset also includes downhole three-component geophone data from wells 56-32 and 78B-32 in DAT files structured as SEG-2 files. The well 56-32 files contain data from one three-component geophone at measured depth 5052.00 m, and the well 78B-32 files contain data from two three-component geophones at measured depths 4581.25 m and 4613.00 m. Embedded file metadata includes 2000 Hz sampling, 12-second records, GPS clock synchronization, receiver locations, channel numbers, calibration factors, and units in meters.

This submission also links to related Utah FORGE resources, including well trajectory metadata, the preceding April 2024 mini-circulation DAS dataset, and the earlier stimulation DAS/seismic dataset.
