Utah FORGE has begun an extended circulation test at its field laboratory near Milford, Utah. The test is expected to continue for up to four months, allowing researchers to evaluate long-term reservoir performance, thermal decline, water loss, and water treatment requirements under continuous flow conditions.
WSP, a global leader in engineering and professional services, supports Utah FORGE by using advanced modeling tools to analyze subsurface fractures and simulate geothermal reservoir performance, helping advance commercially viable geothermal energy solutions.
The heat beneath our feet flows through the earth in a complex pattern. Utah FORGE is situated in a heat reservoir that has been studied since the 1970s. In this webinar, Dr. Stuart Simmons delves into the unique geologic and geothermal resources found at Utah FORGE and the surrounding area.
What exactly are the rock types that make up the underground laboratory of Utah FORGE? In this webinar, Dr. Clay Jones describes the geology of the site and surrounding area and the findings from core and cutting analyses of deep wells!
Utah FORGE continues advancing technologies for enhanced geothermal systems through drilling, monitoring, and scientific data collection at the Milford, Utah site. Current efforts include deep well development, seismic and ground movement monitoring, microgravity surveys, magnetotelluric analysis, and groundwater studies, all supporting future stimulation and reservoir creation activities.
