Utah FORGE: Seismic Risk Trafic Light System - Version 2
The report outlines the updated Traffic Light System (TLS) for the Utah FORGE project, which aims to mitigate seismic risks associated with Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) operations. It integrates lessons from past operations, including stimulation and circulation experiments at wells 58-32 and 16A(78)-32, and considers interactions with neighboring commercial EGS activities at Cape Station. The document specifies threshold criteria for seismic activity, with separate protocols for stimulation/circulation and non-stimulation periods, emphasizing actions like flowback, operational shut-ins, or public communication based on seismic event magnitude and proximity. The report also includes guidelines for public communication and collaboration with regulatory bodies, such as the Department of Energy (DOE).
