Hydraulic Fracture Modeling in Support of EGS Collab Treatment Designs

Conference Beckers, Koenraad J ; Kutun, K. ; Miskimins, J. L.

This paper presents ongoing hydraulic fracturing modeling work in support of the Department of Energy's EGS Collab project. CFRAC, a hydraulic fracturing research code with discrete fracture modeling capabilities was used in the modeling. The models are run under different geomechanical conditions to predict the hydraulic fracturing treatments to be pumped within EGS Collab's experiments in Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF). Effect of the parameters such as a varying stress field and the presence of natural fractures are investigated. The simulations show that when injecting at 0.1 L/s for 180 s with uniform stress field conditions, a penny-shaped fracture withmore »« less

Numerical Simulation Applications in the Design of EGS Collab Experiment 1

Conference Johnston, Henry ; White, Mark D. ; Fu, Pengcheng ; ...

The United States Department of Energy, Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO) is funding a collaborative investigation of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) processes at the meso-scale. This study, referred to as the EGS Collab project, is a unique opportunity for scientists and engineers to investigate the creation of fracture networks and circulation of fluids across those networks under in-situ stress conditions. The EGS Collab project is envisioned to comprise three experiments and the site for the first experiment is on the 4850 Level (4,850 feet below ground surface) in phyllite of the Precambrian Poorman formation, at the Sanford Underground Research Facility, locatedmore »« less
Potential Experimental Topics for EGS Collab Experiment 3

Conference Johnston, Henry ; Mattson, Earl ; Blankenship, Douglas ; ...

To facilitate the success of FORGE, the DOE GTO has initiated a new research effort, the EGS Collab project, which will utilize readily accessible underground facilities that can refine our understanding of rock mass response to stimulation and provide a test bed at intermediate (~10 m) scale for the validation of thermal-hydrological-mechanical-chemical modeling approaches as well as novel monitoring tools. The first two EGS Experiments 1 and 2 are planned be performed under different stress/fracture conditions, and will evaluate different stimulation processes: Experiment 1 will focus on hydrofracturing of a competent rock mass, while Experiment 2 will concentrate on hydroshearingmore »« less
