Abstract

This dataset contains geochemical analyses of produced fluids from the Utah FORGE site, specifically from wells 16A(78)-32, 16B(78)-32, and 58-32, collected during various stimulation, flowback, and circulation tests conducted between 2022 and 2024. The data contains element concentrations, pH, and dissolved gas compositions. Geochemical analyses for 2022 and 2023 were performed at the Brigham Young University geochemistry laboratory, while the 2024 results were obtained from Thermochem. Dry gas samples were collected using a mini-separator attached to the single-phase production line between the wellhead and separator, where fluid was flashed to atmospheric pressure. Gas concentrations were recalculated to a single phase reservoir liquid based on heat and mass balance expressions. Additional contextual information, including interpretations of geochemical trends and reservoir behavior, is available in the included report from Simmons et al. (2025), which was presented at the Stanford Geothermal Workshop in February 2025.

Fallon FORGE: Fluid Geochemistry

Dataset Blankenship, Doug ; Ayling, Bridget

Fluid geochemistry analysis for wells supporting the Fallon FORGE project. Samples were collected from geothermal wells using standard geothermal water sampling techniques, including filtration and acidification of the cation sample to pH < 2 prior to geochemical analysis. Analyses after 2005 were done in reputable commercial laboratories that follow standard protocols for aqueous chemistry analysis.

Utah FORGE 2020-2021 Geothermal Energy/EGS Survey and Results

Dataset Yeo, Sara ; McKasy, Meaghan

The Utah FORGE project collaborated with the University of Utahs Department of Communication on a Capstone course during Fall Semester 2020. The course created a survey to gauge the general populations knowledge of geothermal energy and Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). The survey was distributed through Qualtrics, an experience management company, in late 2020 and early 2021 to respondents in 11 western states (AZ, CA, CO, ID, MT, NM, NV, OR, UT, WA, WY). Approximately 1,000 responses were received. The Code Book (the consent form and the questions themselves) and the raw data results in a spreadsheet are included in themore » data resources.« less
