This dataset consists of an Excel spreadsheet detailing the fracture picks from a reinterpretation of the formation micro-imaging (FMI) log from Utah FORGE well 16A(78)-32. The provided information details fracture location, geometry, and type. Also included here is a link to the original raw and processed FMI logs, as well as other data from the 2021 well logging.

A Schlumberger Fullbore Formation Micro-Imager (FMI) log was run from 7390 feet to 7527 feet depth in well 58-32, originally known as well MU-ESW1. Well 58-32 was completed in 2017 as part of Utah FORGE Phase 2. It reached a depth of 7536 feet and recorded a bottom hole temperature of 386 degrees F (197 degrees C) after penetrating more than 4500 feet of granite. This submission includes a text file containing the final fracture results of the Schlumberger FMI log.

This dataset contains drilling core data from well 16B(78)-32, including PDF documents with flattened core images annotated by feature type and core interval, as well as spreadsheets detailing feature morphologies by depth, planar feature measurements, and planar feature orientations rotated to in situ conditions. Core was recovered from three intervals, one per stimulation stage, in the crystalline rocks affected by the stimulation of well 16A(78)-32. Seven core runs were conducted, yielding 135.8 feet of recovered core. Features in the core were categorized into planar fractures, semi-planar fractures, unbroken mineralized fractures, rough fractures, curviplanar fractures, concave-convex surfaces, and planar compositional features such as mylonite or dike-like structures. Planar features were measured while the core was positioned horizontally, with the core axis aligned to a downhole azimuth of 42 degrees. Planar core measurements from stimulations 2 and 3 that could be confidently correlated with FMI data were rotated to in situ orientations. This was done by rotating the planes along vertical and horizontal axes to match the azimuth and inclination data recorded in the directional survey of well 16B(78)-32, as well as applying an axial rotation to resemble the fracture orientations observed in the FMI log at corresponding depths. Coherent sets of planar fracture measurements were made by aligning the core within each 3-foot section of the dissected core barrel, and between adjacent 3-foot sections within a core run by matching rock fabrics, saw cuts and/or tool marks. Where coherent fracture measurements could not be made within a core run, data sets are denoted by a subscript (i.e. 2-Ta and 2-Tb both come from tangent core run number 2).

The FORGE team is making these fracture models available to researchers wanting a set of natural fractures in the FORGE reservoir for use in their own modeling work. They have been used to predict stimulation distances during hydraulic stimulation at the open toe section of well 16A(78)-32. This is a simplified DFN (discrete fracture network) dataset, that was generated using FracMan, for Utah FORGE well 16A(78)-32. A short, well-illustrated, report describing the data is also included in the provided archive file.

The Utah FORGE 2025 v1 DFN (fracture model) includes 131 discrete planar fractures which were identified using combined site data sets to capture flow pathways between wells 16A(78)-32 and 16B(78)-32 following stimulation activities in 2022 and 2024. It also includes stochastic fractures (radius 20-150 m) away from well control. The DFN details fracture geometry such as position, orientation, and size, but does not address hydraulic properties like aperture, permeability, or compressibility, which may vary within each fracture plane. Further information and figures illustrating various fracture subsets are available in the accompanying notes document.

This zipped data set includes Schlumberger FMI logs DLIS and XML files from Utah FORGE deep well 58-32. These include runs 1 (2226-7550 ft) and 2 (7440-7550 ft). Run 3 (7390-7527ft) was acquired during phase 2C.

This dataset includes files used to fit planar fractures through the preliminary earthquake catalogs of the three stages of the April 2022 well 16A(78)-32 stimulation which is linked bellow. These planar features have been used to update the FORGE reference Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) model. The files are provided to encourage other modelers to use additional workflows to find additional/alternative features. To this end, the dataset includes the cleaned earthquake catalog data translated to the FORGE reference model global reference frame, the well trajectory of 16A(78)-32 in those same coordinates, the fit 15 planar features in csv format, and a pdf file with slides illustrating the process used to fit the features. A recorded presentation of this material is available from the October 2022 FORGE Modeling and Simulation Forum which is also linked below.

This dataset contains all well logs from Utah FORGE well 16A(78)-32. This includes the mud log, Sanvean Technologies logs, and Schlumberger logs. Please see the file descriptions below for information about each log.
