Newberry Volcano, a voluminous (500 km3) basaltic/andesitic/rhyolitic shield volcano located near the intersection of the Cascade volcanic arc, the Oregon High Lava Plains and Brothers Fault Zone, and the northern Basin and Range Province, has been the site of geothermal exploration for more than 40 years. This has resulted in a unique resource: an extensive set of surficial and subsurface information appropriate to constrain the baseline structure of, and conditions within a high heat capacity magmatically hosted geothermal system. In 2012 and 2014 AltaRock Energy conducted repeated stimulation of an enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) prospect along the western flank of the Newberry Volcano. A surface based monitoring effort was conducted independent of these stimulation attempts in both 2012 and 2014 through a collaboration between NETL, Oregon State University and Zonge International. This program included utilization of 3-D and 4-D magnetotelluric, InSAR, ground-based interferometric radar, and microgravity observations within and surrounding the planned EGS stimulation zone. These observations as well as borehole and microseismic stress field and location solutions provided by AltaRock and its collaborators, in combination with well logs, petrologic and geochemical data sets, LIDAR mapping of fault traces and extrusive volcanics, surficial geologic mapping and seismic tomography, have resulted in development of a framework, subsurface geologic model for Newberry Volcano. The Newberry subsurface geologic model is a three-dimensional digital model constructed in EarthVision that enables lithology, directly and remotely measured material properties, and derived properties such as permeability, porosity and temperature, to be coregistered. This provides a powerful tool for characterizing and evaluating the sustainability of the site for EGS production and testing, particularly within the data-dense western portion of the volcano. The model has implications for understanding the previous EGS stimulations at Newberry as well as supporting future research and resource characterization opportunities. A portion of the Newberry area has been selected as a candidate site for the DOE FORGE (Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy) Program through a collaboration between Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Oregon State University, AltaRock Energy and additional partners. Thus, the conceptual geologic model presented here will support and benefit from future enhancements associated with that effort. --Mark-Moser et al. 2016

The development of an unsteady-state procedure for determining three-phase relative permeability curves requires the characterization of the relative permeability curves by adjustable parameters and the adaption of a nonlinear least-squares procedure to the finite-difference approximation of the Buckley-Leverett three-phase flow equation including capillary pressure. A method was developed to represent three-phase relative permeability data by a functional form based on experimental data. Three-phase relative permeability experimental data reported by previous investigators were represented by relative permeability functions. These functions express the relative permeability of a given phase to all fluid saturations (three saturations in the case of three-phase flow) by a six parameter power law equation. The six parameter equations fit the experimental data within 0.53% error. An automatic method also was developed for representing three-phase relative permeability expeimental data. This procedure eliminates errors due to subjective bias. The developed relative permeability functions were incorporated in a multi-dimensional, three-phase black oil simulator. Also, a finite difference Levenberg-Marquardt routine for solving least-squares problems was adapted to the black oil simulator. These modifications make the estimation of the parameters in the relative premeability functions possible by fitting simulated transient three-phase displacement tests to experimental tests. Preliminary results using two-phase flow displacement showed that the parameters can be estimated within a reasonable amount of computer time. Although preliminary results showed that the program works adequately for two-phase flow, conclusions cannot be stated at the present time since some errors were found in the Fortran code of the optimization function. Appropriate changes have been made, and the new version is being tested.

Tier 3 data for Appalachian Basin sectors of New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia used in a Geothermal Play Fairway Analysis of opportunities for low-temperature direct-use applications of heat. It accompanies data and materials submitted as Geothermal Data Repository Submission "Natural Reservoir Analysis 2016 GPFA-AB" (linked below). Reservoir information are derived from oil and gas exploration and production data sets, or derived from those data based on further analysis. Data reported here encompass locations (horizontal and depth), geologic formation names, lithology, reservoir volume, porosity and permeability, and derived approximations of the quality of the reservoir. These differ from the linked 2015 data submission in that this file presents data for New York that are comparable to those in the other two states. In contrast, the 2015 data available measured differing attributes across the state boundaries.

Stratigraphic reservoirs with high permeability and temperature at economically accessible depths are attractive for power generation because of their large areal extent (> 100 km2) compared to the fault controlled hydrothermal reservoirs (< 10 km2) found throughout much of the western US. A preliminary screening of the geothermal power potential of sedimentary basins in the U.S. assuming present day drilling costs, a levelized cost of electricity over 30 years of $10/Wh, and realistic reservoir permeabilities, indicates that basins with heat flows of more than about 80 mW/m2, reservoir temperatures of more than 175 degrees C, and a reservoir depth of less than 4 km are required. This puts the focus for future geothermal power generation on high heat flow regions of California (e.g. the Imperial Valley and regions adjacent to The Geysers), the Rio Grande rift system of New Mexico and Colorado (especially the Denver Basin), the Great Basin of the western U.S., and high heat flow parts of Hawaii and the Alaska volcanic arc.

The subsurface uncertainty at West Virginia University Main Campus is dominated by the uncertainty in the projections of geofluid flowrate in the target formation, the Tuscarora Sandstone. In this paper, three cores from the heterogeneous reservoir, available through West Virginia Geologic and Economic Survey, are analyzed by performing core analysis using CT scanning and permeability measurements via minipermeameter. Additional geological data are collected through cores, published literature, seismic data, and nearby, existing wells to estimate thickness, fracture network configuration and geothermal gradient to minimize the uncertainty of well deliverability. Using these estimated reservoir properties; a 3D conceptual model for the proposed geothermal site is developed. This dataset includes a GRC conference publication along with the data used to produce results explained in the paper including minipermeability measurement data for Preston -119 core and thin section analysis photos and data for Clay-513 core.

Evaluation of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Three-Phase Permeability Measurements, Status Report; October 1986

The primary objective of this research is to understand how different rock types, mineral and fluid compositions, and fracture surface textures determine the longevity of fracture apertures, so that selection of reservoir rock can be economically optimized to reduce future refracturing. We are performing laboratory tests to study this in a custom apparatus at conditions relevant to EGS, with temperatures up to 250 degrees C (design maximum 300 degrees C). Our approach is to perform a number of long term (up to several months) laboratory experiments using relevant rock samples with different mineralogies to explore fracture sustainability under EGS conditions. We use an apparatus that allows direct application of a normal force on the fracture faces of a single fracture in a sample having a sheared, tensile fracture. We flow brine of a specified composition through the aperture, and simultaneously measure the fracture permeability and closure. We collect the effluent water for chemical and isotopic analysis. We are numerically modeling our tests and comparing experimental and numerical results. This submission includes photomicrographs of pre-test (unreacted) and post-test (reacted) samples from Brady well BCH-03 at various depths, Desert Peak well DP 35-13, and samples of Stripa granite.

The geocellular model of the Mt. Simon Sandstone was constructed for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign DDU feasibility study. Starting with the initial area of review (18.0 km by 18.1 km [11.2 miles by 11.3 miles]) the boundaries of the model were trimmed down to 9.7 km by 9.7 km (6 miles by 6 miles) to ensure that the model enclosed a large enough volume so that the cones of depression of both the production and injection wells would not interact with each other, while at the same time minimizing the number of cells to model to reduce computational time. The grid-cell size was set to 61.0 m by 61.0 m (200 feet by 200 feet) for 160 nodes in the X and Y directions. Within the model, 67 layers are represented that are parameterized with their sediment/rock properties and petrophysical data. The top surface of the Mt. Simon Sandstone was provided by geologists working on the project, and the average thickness of the formation was taken from the geologic prospectus they provided. An average thickness of 762 m (2500 feet) was used for the Mt. Simon Sandstone, resulting in 60 layers for the model. Petrophysical data was taken from available rotary sidewall core data (Morrow et al., 2017). As geothermal properties (thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity) are closely related to mineralogy, specifically the percentage of quartz, available mineralogical data was assembled and used with published data of geothermal values to determine these properties (Waples and Waples, 2004; Robertson, 1988). The Mt. Simon Sandstone was divided into three separate units (lower, middle, upper) according to similar geothermal and petrophysical properties, and distributed according to available geophysical log data and prevailing interpretations of the depositional/diagenetic history (Freiburg et al. 2016). Petrophysical and geothermal properties were distributed through geostatistical means according to the associated distributions for each lithofacies. The formation temperature was calculated, based on data from continuous temperature geophysical log from a deep well drilled into the Precambrian basement at the nearby Illinois Basin Decatur Project (IBDP) where CO2 is currently being sequestered (Schlumberger, 2012). Salinity values used in the model were taken from regional studies of brine chemistry in the Mt. Simon Sandstone, including for the IBDP (e.g., Panno et al. 2018). After being reviewed by the project's geologists, the model was then passed onto the geological engineers to begin simulations of the geothermal reservoir and wellbores.

The geocellular model of the St. Peter Sandstone was constructed for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign DDU feasibility study. Starting with the initial area of review (18.0 km by 18.1 km [11.2 miles by 11.3 miles]) the boundaries of the model were trimmed down to 9.7 km by 9.7 km (6 miles by 6 miles) to ensure that the model enclosed a large enough volume so that the cones of depression of both the production and injection wells would not interact with each other, while at the same time minimizing the number of cells to model to reduce computational time. The grid-cell size was set to 61.0 m by 61.0 m (200 feet by 200 feet) for 160 nodes in the X and Y directions. The top surface of the St. Peter Sandstone was provided by geologists working on the project, and the average thickness of the formation was taken from the geologic prospectus they provided. An average thickness of 68.6 m (225 feet) was used for the St. Peter Sandstone, resulting in 45 layers for the model. Petrophysical data was taken from available rotary sidewall core data (Morrow et al., 2017). As geothermal properties (thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity) are closely related to mineralogy, specifically the percentage of quartz, available mineralogical data was assembled and used with published data of geothermal values to determine these properties (Waples and Waples, 2004; Robertson, 1988). The St. Peter Sandstone was divided into facies according to similar geothermal and petrophysical properties, and distributed according to available geophysical log data and prevailing interpretations of the depositional/diagenetic history (Will et al. 2014). Petrophysical and geothermal properties were distributed through geostatistical means according to the associated distributions for each lithofacies. The formation temperature was calculated, based on data from continuous temperature geophysical log from a deep well drilled into the Precambrian basement at the nearby Illinois Basin Decatur Project (IBDP) where CO2 is currently being sequestered (Schlumberger, 2012).

Online web mapping tool for visualization and simple analysis of Earth-energy data files from public and DOE related sources. Geocube allows users to upload and visualize their own datasets but also comes preloaded with individual spatial datasets as well as spatial data collections that align to topical themes.

This dataset conforms to the Tier 3 Content Model for Geologic Reservoirs Version 1.0. It contains the known hydrocarbon reservoirs within the study area of the Geothermal Play Fairway Analysis for the Appalachian Basin (GPFA-AB) as part of Phase 1, Natural Reservoirs Quality Analysis. The final values for Reservoir Productivity Index (RPI) and uncertainty (in terms of coefficient of variation, CV) are included. RPI is in units of liters per MegaPascal-second (L/MPa-s), quantified using permeability, thickness of formation, and depth. A higher RPI is more optimal. Coefficient of Variation (CV) is the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean RPI for each reservoir. A lower CV is more optimal. Details on these metrics can be found in the Reservoirs_Methodology_Memo.pdf uploaded to the Geothermal Data Repository Node of the NGDS in October of 2015.

This package includes the final technical report for the Play-Fairway project in Washington State. It includes all activities and reporting from phases 1, 2, and 3. The primary goal of this study is to develop a suite of tools and methods that help identify a ?fairway? where the three main aspects of a functioning geothermal system are most likely to be found and particularly focuses on developing these tools for use in an actively deforming magmatic arc where heat is associated with volcanic centers and permeability is provided by a network of suitably stressed active faults.

Dataset is a compilation of datapoints in the US waters of the Gulf of Mexico where BOEM has released data for oil and gas reservoirs. These reservoirs are typically in sand formations so the name of the dataset is often called "Sands" and the year of the latest release of data from BOEM. To be able to view data spatially, the sand dataset was joined to the BOEM Boreholes dataset by matching the API numbers of the discovery wells. Thus the "sands" are an estimated location below the mudline and are not exact.

Comprehensive characterization of carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) opportunities throughout the ten-state region. Spanning from the offshore Atlantic Coastal Plain through the Appalachian and Michigan basins, this region hosts a diverse assemblage of reservoir types and provides multiple CCUS targets. A key component of this research is the evaluation of opportunities for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in legacy oil fields via carbon dioxide (CO2) floods. The latest phase of MRCSP research added several new attributes to an already comprehensive database in order to identify and rank the best opportunities for CO2-EOR throughout the 10-state region. Detailed reservoir parameters are necessary to perform a comprehensive evaluation of any given EOR target, and a ranking of opportunities depends on both availability of data and relative consideration, or weight, assigned to the various attributes. A renewed focus on CO2-EOR also helped to identify information severely lacking in the MRCSP region, such as permeability and oil gravity.

New Mexico has a rich legacy of petroleum and mineral exploration and production, most of which has involved subsurface investigations. Hundreds of thousands of holes have been drilled into the subsurface, some to depths of 20,000 feet or more. Considerable data have been collected from these wells in the form of electrical or geophysical logs, cuttings, and rock cores. These materials contain a rich lode of information about the kinds of rocks that lie below the surface, how porous and permeable they are, and even what types of fluids they contain. Part of the Mission of New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources is to serve as a repository for these kinds of data. Data in our collections have been acquired from wells drilled throughout the state over the last 90 years. We currently have more than 15 million pieces of unique subsurface data in our collections, much of it stored in seven steel storage buildings on campus. Core - 20,000+ boxes (oil & gas and mining) from 4,000+ wells Cuttings - 51,0000+ boxes from 16,600+ wells Geophysical Logs (some with mudlogs)- 50,000+ wells Porosity and Permeability Analyses Petroleum Source Rock Analyses Well records - 100,000+ wells Drillers logs - 17,000+ wells Sample descriptions and sample logs - 4,300+ wells Historic petroleum exploration maps with well locations in 26 counties Pool maps with locations of producing oil and gas pools by stratigraphic unit Historic production data - Pre-2002

This study compares well-to-well tracer test and transient pressure test responses in a 5-spot pattern with permeability variations to examine: (a) the sensitivity of test responses to the presence of heterogeneity, and (b) quantification of permeability variation from the analysis of well test data. The first part of this research deals with non-communicating layered systems. Analytical models are used to compute pressure and tracer flow behavior for several hypothetical systems. The second part deals with single-layer areally heterogeneous systems. A reservoir description procedure, based on the heterogeneity index and a combined analysis of pressure and tracer test data, is proposed. 79 refs., 46 figs., 10 tabs.

Carbon dioxide has been successfully used in more than 80 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations in North America, and the number of such operations may increase significantly around the world if CO2 becomes available at reasonable costs. On the other hand, geological storage in deep saline aquifers and hydrocarbon reservoirs of large amounts of CO2, captured from large stationary sources is one method that is under consideration for reducing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere on a worldwide basis. In both cases of CO2-EOR and CO2 capture and geological storage (CCGS), the containment of CO2 within the injection unit and leakage avoidance are essential. Effective CO2 containment is achieved by the overlying tight caprock that is initially highly saturated with formation brine, which prevents CO2 migration into uphole intervals and potentially into shallow freshwater aquifers and ultimately to the atmosphere. The confining properties of the caprock are due to its very low permeability and to relative permeability and capillary pressure effects that prevent the penetration of CO2 into, and significant flow through the caprock. Essential to the assessment of CO2-EOR and CCGS operations, including numerical simulation, is knowledge about the caprock permeability to brine and CO2. This paper presents results of detailed measurements at full reservoir conditions for permeability to water, primary drainage and secondary imbibition permeability, relative permeability and trapped saturation of supercritical, dense-phase CO2 and brine for three different, regionally-extensive low permeability formations in the Alberta basin, Canada. These formations include Devonian and Cretaceous shales and a Devonian anhydrite whose measured relative permeabilities were found to be in the nano to pico Darcy range. The methodology used in the test program and the results can be extended to the evaluation of other sealing caprocks for other prospective CO2-EOR or CCGS operations around the world.

Hycal Energy Research Laboratories Ltd. (Hycal) conducted a series of reservoir characterization and core displacement tests on a sample of intergranular Sulphur Point formation core material taken from well 08-13-116-06 W6M (1370.10 m interval) in the Zama field in northwestern Alberta. The objective of the program was to determine the reservoir condition drainage (water saturation decreasing) and imbibition (water saturation increasing) relative permeability displacement characteristics for carbon dioxide and formation brine for the Sulphur Point carbonate formation.

EGS field projects have not sustained production at rates greater than 1/2 of what is needed for economic viability. The primary limitation that makes commercial EGS infeasible is our current inability to cost-effectively create high-permeability reservoirs from impermeable, igneous rock within the 3,000-10,000 ft depth range. Our goal is to develop a novel fracturing fluid technology that maximizes reservoir permeability while reducing stimulation cost and environmental impact. Laboratory equipment development to advance laboratory characterization/monitoring is also a priority of this project to study and optimize the physicochemical properties of these fracturing fluids in a range of reservoir conditions. Barrier G is the primarily intended GTO barrier to be addressed as well as support addressing barriers D, E and I.

The site is updated and maintained online as the single authoritative source of soil survey information.

This is an analysis of the pressure falloff in stage 1 fracture stimulation of FORGE well 16A(78)-32. The objective of this research is to understand the information content of the well stimulation data of FORGE Well 16A(78)-32. The Stage 1 step-rate test, a variant of the classic diagnostic fracture injection test (DFIT), contains valuable information about the success of well fracturing and the nature of resulting formation stimulation in the drainage volume of Well 16A(78). The analysis we have provided is based on the classic pressure transient analysis in petroleum reservoirs. The next step in the analysis is to use the information we have discovered in the analysis of tracer flowback data. This set of slides we have provided includes the pressure falloff analysis of the data recorded during stimulation of Stage 1 in injection Well 16A(78)-32 conducted in April of 2022. To honor multiple rate a superposition approach for linear flow regime was applied. The analysis yielded a permeability two orders of magnitude larger than permeability from cores. Our calculated permeability is essentially the effective permeability of micro- and macro-fracture system in the stimulated volume of the Well 16A(78)-32. Another observation is that after using the classic G-function plot, no closure stress was observed. This could suggest that pre-existing natural fractures were reopened during stimulation and yet had no propensity to close in accordance to the poroelastic properties.

This is the final topical report for the Phase 2B Utah FORGE project, which is located near Roosevelt Hot Springs, Utah. This PDF format report details results associated with the conceptual geologic model, deep well 58-32, rock geomechanics, reservoir temperatures, seismic surveys, seismic monitoring, certainty, and NEPA.

Six samples were evaluated in unconfined and triaxial compression, their data are included in separate excel spreadsheets, and summarized in the word document. Three samples were plugged along the axis of the core (presumed to be nominally vertical) and three samples were plugged perpendicular to the axis of the core. A designation of "V"indicates vertical or the long axis of the plugged sample is aligned with the axis of the core. Similarly, "H" indicates a sample that is nominally horizontal and cut orthogonal to the axis of the core. Stress-strain curves were made before and after the testing, and are included in the word doc. The confining pressure for this test was 2800 psi. A series of tests are being carried out on to define a failure envelope, to provide representative hydraulic fracture design parameters and for future geomechanical assessments. The samples are from well 52-21, which reaches a maximum depth of 3581 ft +/- 2 ft into a gneiss complex.

Matlab scripts and functions and data used to build Poly3D models and create permeability potential GIS layers for 1) Mount St. Helens seismic zone, 2) Wind River Valley, and 3) Mount Baker geothermal prospect areas located in Washington state.

This file contains file geodatabases of the Mount St. Helens seismic zone (MSHSZ), Wind River valley (WRV) and Mount Baker (MB) geothermal play-fairway sites in the Washington Cascades. The geodatabases include input data (feature classes) and output rasters (generated from modeling and interpolation) from the geothermal play-fairway in Washington State, USA. These data were gathered and modeled to provide an estimate of the heat and permeability potential within the play-fairways based on: mapped volcanic vents, hot springs and fumaroles, geothermometry, intrusive rocks, temperature-gradient wells, slip tendency, dilation tendency, displacement, displacement gradient, max coulomb shear stress, sigma 3, maximum shear strain rate, and dilational strain rate at 200m and 3 km depth. In addition this file contains layer files for each of the output rasters. For details on the areas of interest please see the 'Phase 1 Technical Report' in the download package. This submission also includes a file with the geothermal favorability of the Washington Cascade Range based off of an earlier statewide assessment. Additionally, within this file there are the maximum shear and dilational strain rate rasters for all of Washington State.

The files in this submission describes the results of a series of stress measurement and hydraulic fracturing experiments conducted at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, SD. This report describes the accomplishments of the kISMET (permeability (k) and Induced Seismicity Management for Energy Technologies) project. Five near-vertical boreholes were drilled and cored on the 4850 level of SURF in phyllite of the Precambrian Poorman Formation, and a series of hydraulic fracture experiments and stress measurements were conducted in the central borehole: the outer boreholes were used for monitoring purposes.
