Utah FORGE 9-3635: Testing of Proppants for EGS and Simulation of EM Fracture Mapping Using Electrically-Conductive Proppants - 2025 Workshop Presentation

Published by Stevens Institute of Technology | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2025-09-21T21:35:46Z
This is a presentation on High-Temperature Testing of Proppants for EGS and Simulation of Electromagnetic Fracture Mapping Using Electrically-Conductive Proppants by Stevens Institute of Technology, presented by Dr. Cheng Chen. This video slide presentation describes laboratory tests of electrically-conductive (EC) proppants under FORGE-relevant temperature and pressure conditions, hydraulic fracturing simulations, and electromagnetic modeling to evaluate proppant performance, improve fracture imaging, and enhance confidence in proppant-based EGS operations. This presentation was featured at the Utah FORGE R&D Annual Workshop on September 10, 2025. The workshop offered a valuable opportunity to review the progress of Research and Development projects funded under Solicitation 2022-2, which aim to improve our understanding of the key factors influencing Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) reservoir and resource development.
