Utah FORGE 4-2492: Design and Implementation of Innovative Stimulation Treatments to Maximize Energy Recovery - 2025 Workshop Presentation
This is a presentation and materials on the Design and Implementation of Innovative Stimulation Treatments to Maximize Energy Recovery Efficiency at the Utah FORGE Site project by The University of Texas at Austin, presented by Professor Mukul M. Sharma. The project's objectives were to place fractures uniformly in a horizontal well (improve cluster efficiency) to ensure uniform distribution of flow into all hydraulic fractures, maximize the area of the created fracture network, ensure connectivity of the fractures from the injector to the producer, and optimize fracture size. This presentation was featured at the Utah FORGE R&D Annual Workshop on September 8, 2025. The workshop offered a valuable opportunity to review the progress of Research and Development projects funded under Solicitation 2020-1, which aim to improve our understanding of the key factors influencing Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) reservoir and resource development.
