Included are a report and data from triaxial shear tests on simulated Sierra White fault gouge and a borehole stimulation experiment. This serves as a progress report for the Role of Fluid and Temperature in Fracture Mechanics and Coupled Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical-Chemical (THMC) Processes for Enhanced Geothermal Systems project by Purdue University (Utah FORGE R&D project 5-2557). Tests were done with Sierra White granite (SWG) to investigate slip mechanisms and to evaluate the fracture initiation and propagation from a geothermal borehole. Raw data is provided alongside a report on all experimental testing protocols, experimental design, and results.
