The assessment is based on a stored heat calculation for a cylindrical volume of stimulated hot dry rock enveloping the deviated legs of wells 16A(78)-32 and 16B(78)-32, and conservative estimates for recoverable energy. It also shows the potential for increased power production with deepening of the reservoir. The results are compared with the power produced during the 27-day circulation test in August-September 2024.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://gdr.openei.org/files/1745/Utah%20FORGE%20Geothermal%20Resource%20Assessment.pdf", "description": "This technical report introduces the thermal energy calculation, details how it was used to estimate stored heat at Utah FORGE, and compares the findings to what was observed during circulation tests at the site in August-September 2024.", "format": "pdf", "mediaType": "application/pdf", "title": "Resource Assessment Report.pdf"}], "identifier": "https://data.openei.org/submissions/8438", "issued": "2025-06-20T06:00:00Z", "keyword": ["geothermal", "energy", "Utah FORGE", "geothermal resource assessment", "geothermal resource assessment report", "geothermal energy", "hot dry rock", "EGS", "stored heat", "resource assessment", "recovery factor", "16B78-32", "technical report", "circulation test", "power production", "analytical solution"], "landingPage": "https://gdr.openei.org/submissions/1745", "license": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/", "modified": "2025-06-23T21:46:57Z", "programCode": ["019:006"], "projectLead": "Lauren Boyd", "projectNumber": "EE0007080", "projectTitle": "Utah FORGE", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "Energy and Geoscience Institute at the University of Utah"}, "spatial": "{\"type\":\"Polygon\",\"coordinates\":[[[-112.916367,38.483935],[-112.879748,38.483935],[-112.879748,38.5148],[-112.916367,38.5148],[-112.916367,38.483935]]]}", "title": "Utah FORGE: Geothermal Resource Assessment Report 2024"}
