Utah FORGE: Documentation on Discrete Fracture Network and Fracture Propagation Modelling

Published by University of Texas | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2025-03-13T22:16:43Z
This dataset includes reports and a slide presentation on discrete fracture network (DFN) generation and hydraulic fracture modeling at the Utah FORGE site. It details the characterization of natural fractures using well log and core data, as well as stochastic modeling techniques. The reports describe simulations of hydraulic fracture propagation, fluid-mechanical interactions, and induced microseismicity. The dataset also includes history-matching of net pressure and analyses of fracture growth in naturally fractured geothermal reservoirs. The slides summarize key findings and future research directions.
