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.
Dr. Kristie McLin joins the Stream-Flo of Consciousness podcast to discuss enhanced geothermal systems, Utah FORGE research, industry collaboration, and the future of geothermal technology.
The Energy & Geoscience Institute announces Dr. Kristie McLin as Director of Research and Science and new Principal Investigator of the Utah FORGE project, succeeding Dr. Joseph Moore.
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!
Dr. Kristine Pankow of the University of Utah has been named the Geological Society of America’s 2025–2026 Distinguished Lecturer. Her lecture, “Utah FORGE: A Field-Scale Geothermal Laboratory,” will spotlight groundbreaking research at the world’s only dedicated site for advancing Enhanced Geothermal Systems.
Geothermal energy is gaining global momentum, with countries like the U.S., Indonesia, and the Philippines leading the way.
While enjoying the first days of 2025, we’ve taken a moment to reflect on everything that Utah FORGE accomplished during the past year. There’s a lot to be proud of!
A look at hot springs and their connection to shallow hydrology and deep hydrothermal fluid flow.
In this seminar Dana Jurick, Chief Operating Officer of Neubrex Energy Services US LLC. discusses the collection, analysis and interpretation of strain measurements utilizing fiber optic cables.
An agreement has been signed between the U.S. Department of Energy and the Utah FORGE to continue the project through 2028.
In April 2024, the stimulation of the production and injection wells created the fracture network that forms the reservoir. It was followed by a successful commercial scale circulation test.
