Utah FORGE 3-2417: DAS-derived Moment Tensors from the 16A/16B Stimulation - April, 2024
This dataset contains a catalog of moment tensors derived from distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) data acquired during stimulation of Utah FORGE Well 16A, conducted between April 3 and April 7, 2024. The data were generated as part of the FOGMORE (Fiber Optic MOnitoring for Reservoir Evolution) research project under Utah FORGE R&D Project 3-2417. The moment tensor inversion results were assembled by researchers from Silixa LLC and Rice University using DAS recordings from multiple fiber installations: the FOGMORE 16B dataset (Silixa Carina), the 78B dataset (Silixa iDAS v2), and the Delano dataset (Silixa iDAS), all recorded in April 2024.
The catalog includes event hypocenters, moment tensor components, fracture orientation parameters, isotropic and seismic moment estimates, and associated uncertainty metrics, with standard deviations obtained via bootstrapping. Please see the included README for more details on the dataset, and the header description file for definitions of all included data types and notes on their derivations. Additional context, including fiber installation details (link below) and related preliminary datasets, is available through associated Utah FORGE 3-2417 submissions.
