RESMAN will provide critical data on fluid movements, and connection integrity within the geothermal system, offering a comprehensive suite of tracer technology options aligned with the required temperature stability range and resilient to extremely high temperatures.
“Utah FORGE is a global test case, and we aim to accelerate breakthroughs in EGS technologies and to establish rigorous, reproducible solutions that make geothermal energy possible anywhere in the world,” said John McLennan, Utah FORGE, Co-Principal Investigator.
“Having RESMAN involved in this stimulation phase is an opportunity to achieve more detailed insights into the interaction of the fracture stimulation stages. Tracer technology provides data used to help better understand fluid movements and connections, helping to improve data-driven decision-making in geothermal operations.”
“This is our first geothermal project, and it presents a significant leap towards sustainable energy solutions. Although there are many unknowns, we are confident in the transformative impact of our tracer technology,” said Partho Giri, Director of Global Operations, RESMAN Energy Technology.
As of April 8th, 2024 RESMAN has completed tracer injection for all the fracking stages, followed by ongoing meticulous sampling and analysis to assess connectivity and circulation. As the project unfolds with monthly updates, stakeholders anticipate a wealth of knowledge that could reshape the geothermal landscape.
The FORGE site is located near the town of Milford in Beaver County, Utah, on the western flank of the Mineral Mountains. Near term goals are aimed at perfecting drilling, stimulation, injection-production, and subsurface imaging technologies required to establish and sustain continuous fluid flow and energy transfer from an EGS reservoir.
