Utah FORGE 4-2541: Optimization and Validation of a Plug-and-Perf Stimulation Treatment Design - Workshop Presentation

Published by Fervo Energy | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2023-09-26T20:48:16Z
This is a presentation on the Optimization and Validation of a Plug-and-Perf Stimulation Treatment Design at Utah FORGE project by Fervo Energy, presented by Sireesh Dadi. The project's objective was to develop a multistage hydraulic stimulation approach designed specifically to target the top three factors that control the technical and commercial viability of an EGS system. These factors include: achieving sufficient injectivity to support high cross-well flow rates, distributing flow evenly across the wellbore and reservoir, and overcoming the effects of stress heterogeneity, stress shadowing, and variations in natural fracture properties during the stimulation treatment. This presentation was featured in the Utah FORGE R&D Annual Workshop on September 7, 2023. The workshop provided a valuable opportunity to explore the progress made in each of the 17 Research and Development projects funded under Solicitation 2020-1 which aim to enhance our understanding of the crucial factors influencing the development of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) reservoirs and resources.
