Utah FORGE: 2023 Large Upscaled Discrete Fracture Network Models

Published by Energy and Geoscience Institute at the University of Utah | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: January 23, 2026 | Last Modified: 2023-10-05T17:49:01Z

This dataset includes the data and a report on the large upscaled discrete fracture network modeling done for the Utah FORGE project in 2023. The FORGE modeling team is making five discrete fracture network (DFN) realizations of a large reservoir model available to researchers. These models have been upscaled to a continuum mesh or grid at resolutions of 10 meters and 20 meters providing reservoir properties for fracture porosity, permeability, and compressibility. The models are available in both the reference global coordinate frame and a local coordinate frame aligned with principal stress directions.
