Abstract

These resources describe the 3D geophysical inversion modeling of gravity data at the FORGE site near Milford, Utah. FORGE is the Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy and the site in Utah has been selected by the U.S. Dept. of Energy for a 5-year R&D program to test technologies for the development of Engineered Geothermal Systems (EGS). 3D modelling of gravity data at the FORGE site is to help characterize the subsurface geologic framework. Specifically, modelling of gravity data in 3D, used in conjunction with rock density measurements and other subsurface geologic information can provide an independent test of an existing 3D geologic model (e.g. Witter et al., 2018). Such an exercise can be useful for reducing uncertainty in 3D geologic models (Witter et al, 2019).

Utah FORGE: TEM and Gravity Data

Dataset Hardwick, Christian ; Nash, Greg

This submission includes a gravity data in text format and as a GIS point shapefile and transient electromagnetic (TEM) raw data. Each text file additionally contains location data (UTM Zone 12, NAD83) and elevation (meters) data for that station. The gravity data shapefile was in part downloaded from PACES, University of Texas at El Paso, http://gis.utep.edu/subpages/GMData.html, and in part collected by the Utah Geological Survey (UGS) as part of the DOE GTO supported Utah FORGE geothermal energy project near Milford, Utah. The PACES data were examined and scrubbed to eliminate any questionable data. A 2.67 g/cm^3 reduction density was usedmore »« less
Utah FORGE: Milford Gravity Data Shapefile

Dataset Moore, Joe

This is a zipped GIS compatible shapefile of gravity data points used in the Milford, Utah FORGE project as of March 21st, 2016. The shapefile is native to ArcGIS, but can be used with many GIS software packages. Additionally, there is a .dbf (dBase) file that contains the dataset which can be read with Microsoft Excel. The Data was downloaded from the PACES (Pan American Center for Earth and Environmental Studies) hosted by University of Texas El Paso. A readme file is included in the archive with abbreviation explanations and units.
Utah FORGE: 2D and 3D Seismic Data

Dataset Miller, John

This set of data contains raw and Initially-processed 2D and 3D seismic data from the Utah FORGE study area near Roosevelt Hot Springs. Reprocessed versions of these data can be accessed at the linked submission in the Resources section titled "Reprocessed Seismic Reflection Data." The zipped archives numbered from 1-100 to 1001-1122 contain 3D seismic uncorrelated shot gatherers SEG-Y files. The zipped archives numbered from 1-100C to 1001-1122C contain 3D seismic correlated shot gatherers SEG-Y files. Other data have intuitive names.
Utah FORGE Composite Raw Gravity Data 2021

Dataset Hardwick, Christian

This is a composite raw gravity dataset of the Utah FORGE area taken over time from December 2018 to to June 2021. The data shows differences in local gravity at different location across Utah FORGE. Included with the gravity data is the NAD83 UTM coordinates of each station in meters. More detailed information can be found in the readme included in the data resource.
Utah FORGE: Composite 3D Seismic Velocity Model

Dataset Finger, C ; Niemz, P ; Ermert, L ; ...

This is a composite 3D seismic velocity that was constructed from compiled information from several local studies regarding seismic velocities and structural information. This seismic velocity model is provided in NonLinLoc format (slow_len), which is readily usable in NonLinLoc software. Other model formats and versions of the model can be produced using the Python script provided with this data set. Details on how the model was created and prior velocity and structural information was used is provided in the accompanying documentation.
