Utah FORGE 5-2615: Thermo-poromechanical Response of Fractured Rock - Workshop Presentation

This is a presentation on the Experimental Determination and Modeling-Informed Analysis of Thermo-poromechanical Response of Fractured Rock for Application to Utah FORGE project by the University of Oklahoma, presented by Dr. Ahmad Ghassemi, McCasland Chair Prof. The project objective is to improve understanding and control of coupled thermo-poromechanical (or thermo-hydro-mechanical- TPM) processes in reservoir development, and to study any role in interpretations of the fracture closure. This presentation was featured in the Utah FORGE R&D Annual Workshop on September 8, 2023. The workshop provided a valuable opportunity to explore the progress made in each of the 17 Research and Development projects funded under Solicitation 2020-1 which aim to enhance our understanding of the crucial factors influencing the development of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) reservoirs and resources.

本报告由俄克拉荷马大学麦卡斯兰德讲座教授Ahmad Ghassemi博士主持，题为《基于俄克拉荷马大学的研究：针对犹他FORGE项目，对断裂岩石热-孔隙-力学响应的实验测定与建模分析》。该项目旨在深化对油气田开发过程中耦合热-孔隙-力学（或热-水-力学，简称TPM）过程的认知与调控，并探讨断裂闭合在解释过程中的作用。本报告于2023年9月8日举办的犹他FORGE研发年度研讨会上展出，该研讨会为探讨在2020-1号征集令下资助的17个研发项目取得的进展提供了宝贵机会，这些项目旨在增强我们对影响增强地热系统（EGS）储层和资源开发的至关重要因素的认知。
