77 This video details the multiple-stage fracturing process, valve mechanisms and innovations made. Some important goals are to implement the new cemented fracture-sleeves for the EGS environment and to make sure these sleeves are functional within the control system to detect and remediate injection short circuiting. https://gdr.openei.org/files/1439/GeoThermOPTIMAL.mp4
21 This paper discusses the progress on a project funded by the DOE Utah FORGE (Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy) for the development of a subsurface heat exchanger for Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) which uses unique casing sleeves cemented in place. They are used first as a system for rapid and inexpensive multi-stage stimulations and second to perform conformance control functions at 225 oC. https://gdr.openei.org/submissions/1425
