Abstract

This package includes data from two days of testing at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) on the 4100 level. The tests were performed in borehole TV4100 in the battery charging alcove south of the Yates shaft. TV4100 is a vertical borehole ~50 meters deep. A series of hydraulic fracture (mini-frac) and reopening tests were conducted at various depths to investigate the magnitude and direction of the minimum principal stress in that area of the mine. Apparent features of the pressure time/pressure injected volume curves are the onset of fracture, peak pressure, and the initial shut in pressure (ISIP). The raw data files include a Readme with the day, time, and location of each file. The files are organized into 9 columns: time (sec), flow meter (V), Pressure of Return (V), Pressure of Packer (V), Pressure of Injection (V), flow (gpm), Pressure of Return (psi), Pressure of Packer (psi), Pressure of Injection (psi). The shift reports are a short log of how the tests were run in the two-day period. An American Geophysical Union (AGU) 2019 presentation by Ingraham et al. is shown to provide visualization/interpretation of the data. The columns which report voltage (V) show the unscaled voltage valuemore »« less

EGS Collab Experiment 2: Hydraulic Pressure Test Results

Dataset Burghardt, Jeffrey ; Strickland, Christopher ; Sirota, Dana ; ...

The EGS Collab experiment 2 was focused on testing shear stimulation techniques. Shear stimulation, in this case, means using hydraulic pressure to cause shear slip on preexisting fracture or fault planes such that the hydraulic conductivity of the fracture or fault increases. The concept is to create a percolating network of permeable fractures by enhancing the permeability of a primarily preexisting network of fractures. To test this concept the hydraulic pressures for experiment 2 were kept below the the estimated magnitude of the least compressive principal stress based on a set of stress measurements in nearby well TV4100.

EGS Collab Experiment 1: Circulation Testing

Dataset Knox, Hunter ; Linneman, Dorothy ; Schwering, Paul ; ...

These data and test descriptions comprise a chilled circulation test conducted at the 164' fracture in the EGS Collab Experiment 1 testbed on the 4850 ft level of the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Descriptions of the meta data, design drawings for the flow testing system, and evaluation of the thermistor data are provided here. The test ran from April 2019 through early March of 2020, when testing was concluded at the experiment 1 site. These data are are complementary to the stimulation data provided in another submission which is linked below (i.e. stimulation at the 164' notch). More information aboutmore »« less
EGS Collab Experiment 1: Common Discrete Fracture Network

Dataset Schwering, Paul ; Doe, Tom ; Roggenthen, W.M. ; ...

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
