RESMAN Energy Technology Selected to Participate in Utah FORGE Geothermal Project
Houston — RESMAN Energy Technology is pleased to announce that its tracking technology is being used on the innovative Utah FORGE geothermal project. With expectations of a dramatic increase in the Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) market by 2030, the Utah FORGE project is poised to become an important test case for scaling geothermal technology globally. Located in Milford, Utah, 320 km (200 miles) from Salt Lake City, this international field laboratory is managed by the University of Utah’s Institute for Energy and Geosciences and sponsored by the Department of Energy.
“Utah FORGE is a global test case and our goal is to accelerate advances in EGS technologies and establish rigorous, repeatable solutions that make geothermal energy possible anywhere in the world” Post this
RESMAN will provide critical data on fluid movements and connection integrity within the geothermal system, offering a comprehensive set of tracking technology options aligned with the required temperature stability range and resilient to extremely high temperatures.
“Utah FORGE is a global test case and our goal is to accelerate advances in EGS technologies and establish rigorous, repeatable 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 gain 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.”
“We are very proud to have been selected for this pioneering project that could revolutionize the monitoring and management of geothermal processes around the world. This is our first geothermal project and represents a significant leap towards sustainable energy solutions. While there are many unknowns, we are confident in the transformative impact of our tracking technology,” said Partho Giri, Director of Global Operations at RESMAN Energy Technology. “Our non-hazardous, non-radioactive tracers enable the industry’s lowest parts-per-trillion (ppt) detection levels. Our value proposition is obvious: we demonstrate the integrity of connections within the geothermal system, providing valuable information for greater operational efficiency and sustainability.”
On April 8, 2024, RESMAN completed tracer injection for all stages of hydraulic fracturing, followed by continued 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.
About Utah FORGE
The FORGE unit is located near the town of Milford in Beaver County, Utah, on the western flank of the Mineral Mountains. Short-term objectives aim to improve the drilling, stimulation, injection production, and underground imaging technologies necessary to establish and sustain continuous fluid flow and energy transfer from an EGS reservoir.
