Utah FORGE 2-2439v2: Characterizing In-Situ Stress with Laboratory Modelling and Field Measurements - 2024 Annual Workshop Presentation

Published by Energy and Geoscience Institute at the University of Utah | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-09-06T17:37:10Z
This is a presentation on A Multi-Component Approach to Characterizing In-Situ Stress at the Utah FORGE Site: Laboratory Modelling and Field Measurements project by The University of Pittsburgh, presented by Andrew Bunger. The project characterizes the stress in the Utah FORGE EGS reservoir using three methods: Method 1: Demonstrate complimentary laboratory rock-core stress estimation combined with Machine Learning approach for measuring in-situ stress from field sonic log data; Method 2: Complete field based in-situ measurement (mini-frac); and Method 3: Develop a mechanics-based method for connection near wellbore stress measurements to stresses away from the well-bore. This presentation was featured in the Utah FORGE R&D Annual Workshop on August 14, 2024.
