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.
With over 83,000 employees worldwide, WSP is one of the world’s top professional services firms, bringing together some of the brightest engineers, advisors and scientists from across the globe. We exist to shape communities to advance humanity. We see the world through a Future Ready® lens, fueled by a shared commitment to making a positive impact—one project and community at a time. We empower our clients to dream big and carve new paths, tackling the real-world challenges that matter most.
WSP’s contribution to FORGE has been to use our FracMan® software to analyze data from the five deep reservoir wells to develop models of the natural fractures and stimulated flow pathways in the target rock mass. The models developed by WSP are being used to predict how the reservoir rock responds to hydraulic fracturing and to simulate the long-term thermal response of the site. Over the course of the FORGE program, WSP will continue supporting teams of researchers using a variety of technologies to develop viable, commercially feasible solutions for geothermal energy.
