Utah FORGE 2-2439v2: A Multi-Component Approach to Characterizing In-Situ Stress - 2025 Workshop Presentation

Published by University of Pittsburgh | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2025-09-21T18:55:40Z
This is a presentation on A Multi-Component Approach to Characterizing In-Situ Stress at the U.S DOE FORGE EGS Site: Laboratory, Modeling and Field Measurement project by University of Pittsburgh, presented by Dr. Andrew Bunger. The project's objective was to characterize stress in the Utah FORGE EGS reservoir using three methods: a laboratory rock-core stress estimation combined with a Machine Learning approach for estimation of in-situ stress from field sonic-log data, a field based in-situ measurement (min-frac) approach, and a modeling approach. 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.
