Title: EGS Collab Testbed 1 Earth Model Input Files

Abstract

The EGS Collab is conducting experiments in hydraulic fracturing at a depth of 1.5 km in the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) on the 4850 Level. A total of eight ~60m-long subhorizontal boreholes were drilled at that depth on the western rib of the West Access Drift. Six of these holes are used for geophysical monitoring, one is used for hydraulic fracturing and the remaining hole was designed as a production borehole. In addition to these eight boreholes, 4 5-m Jack leg boreholes were drilled for housing geophones. This submission package includes various data type that were assembled to create Earth Models of the testbed. Note: The coordinate system used is local Homestake Mine Coordinate (HMC) system from an old gold mine that was in operation for over 100 years.

Geothermal Data Repository (GDR)

Anderson, Arlene ; Weers, Jon

The Geothermal Data Repository (GDR) is the submission point for all data collected from researchers funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Geothermal Technologies Office (DOE GTO). The DOE GTO is providing access to its geothermal project information through the GDR. The GDR is powered by OpenEI, an energy information portal sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

EGS Collab Testbed 1: Second Set Tracer Test Results

Dataset Neupane, Ghanashyam ; Mattson, Earl ; Hawkins, Adam ; ...

The EGS Collab project is developing ~10-20 m-scale field sites where fracture stimulation and flow models can be validated against controlled, small-scale, in-situ experiments. The first multi-well experimental site was established at the 4850 level in the Homestake Mine in Lead, South Dakota, where hydraulic fractures were created at an injection well drilled sub-horizontal from the drift. This file contains the second set of tracer data (also include the data uploaded previously, https://gdr.openei.org/submissions/1128) for the EGS Collab testbed. The tracer tests were conducted during October 2018 - November 2019. Injected tracers include DNA, C-dots (fluorescein nano particles), fluorescein, rhodamine-b, sodiummore »« less
EGS Collab Testbed 1: Baseline Cross-well Seismic

Dataset Schwering, Paul ; Condon, Kate ; Knox, Hunter Anne ; ...

As part of the geophysical characterization suite for the first EGS Collab tesbed, here are the baseline cross-well seismic data and resultant models. The campaign seismic data have been organized, concatenated with geometry and compressional (P-) & and shear (S-) wave picks, and submitted as SGY files. P-wave data were collected and analyzed in both 2D and 3D, while S-wave data were collected and analyzed in 2D only. Inversion models are provided as point volumes; the volumes have been culled to include only the points within source/receiver array coverage. The full models space volumes are also included, if relevant. Anmore »« less

EGS Collab Testbed 1- Common Discrete Fracture Network

Dataset Schwering, Paul

This package includes data and models that support hydraulic fracture stimulation and fluid circulation experiments in the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF). A paper by Schwering et al. (2020) describes the deterministic basis for developing a "common" discrete fracture network (CDFN) model of significant natural fractures in EGS Collab Testbed 1 on the 4850-Level of SURF. The ReadMe for this model shows drift, wells, scanlines, fracture data, interpreted fractures, and geophysical visualizations. There is also a summary of the data that was used in this experiment and includes results from reviewing core, televiewer (TV) logs, core-TV depth/feature registration, and frommore »« less
EGS Collab Testbed 1: Temperature profile

Dataset White, Mark

This submission includes an input file, plot file, Fortran conversion file, and 3D data file from the simulation of the temperature profile within the Test Bed #1 of the EGS Collab project. The simulation was executed with PNNL's STOMP-GT simulator, which reads the input file, and produces the STOMP-GT Simulated 2D Temperature Distribution Data (plot.001302 file). The Fortran conversion file, converts the STOMP-GT Simulated 2D Temperature Distribution Data (plot.001302) 2D results in local coordinates to 3D results in Homestake coordinates.
