EGS Collab Experiment 1: Circulation Testing

Description

These data and test descriptions comprise a chilled circulation test conducted at the 164' fracture in the EGS Collab Experiment 1 testbed on the 4850 ft level of the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Descriptions of the meta data, design drawings for the flow testing system, and evaluation of the thermistor data are provided here. The test ran from April 2019 through early March of 2020, when testing was concluded at the experiment 1 site. These data are are complementary to the stimulation data provided in another submission which is linked below (i.e. stimulation at the 164' notch). More information about the test itself as well as the rationale and process of data processing is available on the EGS Collab Experiment 1 Long Term Circulation Test wiki page which is also linked below.

21 Processed, cleaned, and reduced data. The current submission contain the raw data and the documentation needed to interpret and process the raw data. The channels to the interest of most potential users, including pressure, flow rate, and temperature, have been processed and shared in submission 1301. https://gdr.openei.org/submissions/1301
10 A summary of major events during the long-term circulation experiment. A more complete description of the events is available in the form of daily shift reports, available as wiki pages in the "EGS Collab Shift Reports" resource link. https://gdr.openei.org/files/1254/MajorEventLog_LongTermCirculation.docx

36 A memo on the design, installation and calibration of thermistors used to measure temperature of injection and produced water. Note that these are the new, improved sensors used to replace the faulty sensors in late 2019. See submission 1301 for further discussion. https://gdr.openei.org/files/1254/EGS%20Collab%20Experiment_1%20Injection%20and%20Production%20Well%20Thermistors%20.pptx
53 Nominal functions of all the channels in the raw CSV files. Note that occasionally the quantity each channel measured was adjusted and this table is not 100% accurate. Important data have been processed, cleaned, and shared through submission 1301: EGS Collab Circulation Testing Processed Data. https://gdr.openei.org/files/1254/SensorDescriptions.xlsx
