Utah FORGE 4-2492: Final Report and Presentation on Innovative Stimulation Design and Fiber-Optic Diagnostics to Maximize Energy Recovery Efficiency
This dataset contains the final technical report and closeout presentation for Utah FORGE Project 4-2492, which investigated advanced stimulation design and diagnostic approaches to improve fracture uniformity, inter-well connectivity, and energy recovery efficiency in enhanced geothermal systems. The report documents field stimulation and circulation experiments in wells 16A and 16B, integration of distributed fiber-optic sensing (DTS, DAS, and distributed strain), numerical modeling of fracture growth and fluid flow, and the combined use of tracer, FMI, and fiber-optic data to characterize fracture geometry, conductivity, and connectivity. Results provide guidance for improving completion and stimulation strategies for future high-temperature EGS well pairs at Utah FORGE.
