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.
Data Dashboard
The Utah FORGE project began in 2015 and has produced significant achievements in geology, geophysics, and well engineering. To date there have been seven wells drilled including 58-32, a deep vertical well, 16A(78)-32 (injection) and 16B(78)-32 (production) – two highly deviated deep wells, and 68-32, 78-32, 78-32B, and 56-32 which are deep seismic monitoring wells. Stimulation tests and fracture modeling have been accomplished on 58-32 and 16A(78)-32. Seismicity has been monitored throughout the drilling and testing programs. All data collected during ongoing research at the site and by the R&D recipients are free and publicly available and stored on the Geothermal Data Repository.

Well Stimulation
Utah FORGE has successfully stimulated wells 16A(78)-32 (injection) and 16B(78)-32 (production). A 9-hour circulation test that followed stimulation proved fluid flow and energy transfer from an Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) reservoir in hot dry granite – a major breakthrough for the industry.
R&D Projects
The University of Utah, in support of the Department of Energy’s (DOE), Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO) Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE) offers solicitations for advancing Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) technologies.
