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.
The Utah FORGE Team is pleased to announce the inaugural FORGE Modeling and Simulation Forum commencing April 15 at 11 am MDT. It is intended to be an open forum to present modeling and simulation, both completed and planned, activities being conducted by the Utah FORGE Team. The Forum will be a recurring event (frequency to be determined) which will help to keep the EGS community updated on our activities and, most importantly, to gain the community's feedback.
In preparation for the Forum, details on the reference earth and native state models can be found at the following links:

The Forum will be hosted by Dr. Robert Podgorney, the modeling and simulation lead for the Utah FORGE team. Registration is required, please sign-up via link below
