Utah FORGE: Stimulation Crosswell Strain Response Fiber Optic Monitoring Report - April 2024

Description

This report documents the use of fiber optic Rayleigh frequency shift (RFS) Distributed Strain Sensing (DSS), Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS), and microseismic data recorded during the hydraulic fracture stimulation of well 16A(78)-32, as detected in the offset well 16B(78)-32 in April 2024. The report from Neubrex reviews the spatial and temporal evolution of these measurements on the 16B well that is located above the 16A well in the reservoir. Hydraulic Pressure Pumping curve data is integrated with the fiber optic data. Microseismic data acquired and processed by Geo-Energie Suisse Suisse is also included in the integration and comparison to strain data acquired in the near field of 16B.
