As part of the Energy & Geoscience Institute‘s Spring Webinar Series, Dr. Joseph Moore recently gave an overview of geothermal energy and enhanced geothermal systems.
… Enhanced geothermal systems are characterized by very low permeabilities and so the goal for EGS is to create permeabilty where none exists naturally…

Dr. Moore gave a brief summary of the most current activities at Utah FORGE, its recent successes and challenges.
Utah FORGE is a Department of Energy funded project and all of the data is free and publicly available in the Geothermal Data Repository. Please visit our Data Dashboard to explore the various areas of datasets available.
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.
