First, the stimulation pumps used were designed to run for weeks and deliver large volumes of water at moderate well-head pressure. Second, to stimulate multiple zones, AltaRock developed thermo-degradable zonal isolation materials (TZIMs) to seal off fractures in a geothermal well to stimulate secondary and tertiary fracture zones. The TZIMs degrade within weeks, resulting in an optimized injection/ production profile of the entire well. Third, the project followed a project-specific Induced Seismicity Mitigation Plan (ISMP) to evaluate, monitor for, and mitigate felt induced seismicity. An initial stimulation was conducted in 2012 and continued for 7 weeks, with over 41,000 m3 of water injected. Further analysis indicated a shallow casing leak and an unstable formation in the open hole. The well was repaired with a shallow casing tieback and perforated liner in the open hole and re-stimulated in 2014. The second stimulation started September 23rd, 2014 and continued for 3 weeks with over 9,500 m3 of water injected. The well was treated with several batches of newly tested TZIM diverter materials and a newly designed Diverter Injection Vessel Assembly (DIVA), which was the main modification to the original injection system design used in 2012. A second round of stimulation that included two perforation shots and additional batches of TZIM was conducted on November 11th, 2014 for 9 days with an additional 4,000 m3 of water injected. The stimulations resulted in a 3-4 fold increase in injectivity, and PTS data indicates partial blocking and creation of flow zones near the bottom of the well.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://gdr.openei.org/files/775/NEGS_Phase2.2_Report_Appendices_070315.pdf", "description": "Appendices for the Phase 2.2 Report", "format": "pdf", "mediaType": "application/pdf", "title": "Phase 2.2 Report Appendices.pdf"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://gdr.openei.org/files/775/NEGS_Phase2.2_Report_Final_070315.pdf", "description": "Report detailing the findings of the Newberry EGS Demonstration Phase 2.2 which aimed to repair and re-stimulate Well 55-29.", "format": "pdf", "mediaType": "application/pdf", "title": "Phase 2.2 Report.pdf"}], "identifier": "https://data.openei.org/submissions/6968", "issued": "2015-07-03T06:00:00Z", "keyword": ["EGS", "NEWGEN", "Newberry", "demonstration", "diverter material", "geothermal", "groundwater monitoring", "hydraulic", "microseismic monitoring", "repair", "stimulation", "temperature monitoring", "well"], "landingPage": "https://gdr.openei.org/submissions/775", "license": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/", "modified": "2024-07-09T16:57:23Z", "programCode": ["019:006"], "projectLead": "Lauren Boyd", "projectNumber": "EE0002777", "projectTitle": "Newberry EGS Demonstration", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "AltaRock Energy Inc"}, "spatial": "{\"type\":\"Polygon\",\"coordinates\":[[[-121.4333333,43.51666667],[-121.0333333,43.51666667],[-121.0333333,43.91666667],[-121.4333333,43.91666667],[-121.4333333,43.51666667]]]}", "title": "Newberry EGS Demonstration: Repairing and Re-Stimulating Well 55-29 Report"}
