Utah FORGE 9-3664: Proppants for Fracture Conductivity Enhancement and Reservoir Characterization in EGS - 2026 Workshop Presentation
This is a presentation on Proppants for Fracture Conductivity Enhancement and Reservoir Characterization in EGS by the University of Oklahoma, presented by Dr. Ahmad Ghassemi. The project is evaluating and developing high-temperature proppant materials to enhance fracture conductivity and improve reservoir characterization in Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). This presentation was featured at the Utah FORGE R&D Annual Workshop, held September 30-October 1, 2026. The workshop offered a valuable opportunity to review the progress of Research and Development projects funded under Solicitation 2022-2, which aim to improve our understanding of the key factors influencing Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) reservoir and resource development.
