Abstract

California State University Long Beach evaluated hydraulic connectivity among geothermal wells using Periodic Hydraulic Testing (PHT) and Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS). The principal was to create a pressure signal in one well and observe the responding pressure signals in one or more observation wells to assess the permeability and storage of the fracture network that connects the two wells. DAS measured strain at mHz frequency in monitoring wells in response to PHT.

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) Data for Periodic Hydraulic Tests: Hydraulic Data

Dataset Cole, Matthew

Hydraulic responses from periodic hydraulic tests conducted at the Mirror Lake Fractured Rock Research Site, during the summer of 2015. These hydraulic responses were measured also using distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) which is cataloged in a different submission under this grant number. The tests are explained in detail in Matthew Cole's MS Thesis which is cataloged here. The injection and drawdown data and the codes used to analyze the data. Sinusoidal Data is a Matlab data file containing a data table for each period-length test. Within each table is a column labeled: time (seconds since beginning of pumping), Inj_m3pm (formationmore »« less
Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) for Periodic Hydraulic Tests: Laboratory Data

Dataset Coleman, Thomas

These data were collected in the laboratory located at California State University Long Beach. They consist of DAS data collected from a fiber optic cable placed in a tank of water, subjected to oscillating head. These tests are described in the article linked below.
Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) of Strain at Earth Tide Frequencies: Laboratory Tests

Dataset Coleman, Thomas ; Becker, Matthew W.

The solid Earth strains in response to the gravitational pull from the Moon, Sun, and other planetary bodies. Measuring the flexure of geologic material in response to these Earth tides provides information about the geomechanical properties of rock and sediment. Such measurements are particularly useful for understanding dilation of faults and fractures in competent rock. A new approach to measuring earth tides using fiber optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) is presented here. DAS was originally designed to record acoustic vibration through the measurement of dynamic strain on a fiber optic cable. Here, laboratory experiments demonstrate that oscillating strain can bemore »« less
PoroTomo: Horizontal Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) Measurements During an M 2.3 Explosion

Dataset Kratt, Christopher ; Tyler, Scott ; Wang, Herbert ; ...

Included here are Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) data collected by the horizontal DAS array at Brady's Hot Springs Geothermal Field. The system recorded this data during an M 2.3 explosion at the Nevada Test Site (NTS), which is located approximately 400km southeast of the field. On December 19, 2018, a Silixa iDAS interrogator continuously acquired data on single-mode fibers, starting approximately two hours prior to the detonation and extending until 15 minutes after the event. This dataset comprises separate SEG-Y files that span the entire recording interval. The measurement fiber was part of the PoroTomo experiment and is horizontally emplacedmore »« less
Phase I Project: Fiber Optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing for Periodic Hydraulic Tests

Technical Report Becker, Matthew

The extraction of heat from hot rock requires circulation of fluid through fracture networks. Because the geometry and connectivity of these fractures determines the efficiency of fluid circulation, many tools are used to characterize fractures before and after development of the reservoir. Under this project, a new tool was developed that allows hydraulic connectivity between geothermal boreholes to be identified. Nanostrain in rock fractures is measured using fiber optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS). This strain is measured in one borehole in response to periodic pressure pulses induced in another borehole. The strain in the fractures represents hydraulic connectivity between wells.more »« less
