Abstract:

The Department of Energy (DOE) Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE) is to be a dedicated site where the subsurface scientific and engineering community can develop, test, and improve technologies and techniques for the creation of cost-effective and sustainable enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) in a controlled environment. The establishment of FORGE will facilitate development of an understanding of the key mechanisms controlling a successful EGS. As part of a detailed down-select process, DOE has selected two sites to move forward for further evaluation; Fallon FORGE near Fallon, NV and Utah FORGE near Milford, Utah. This paper will provide an overview of the candidate Fallon FORGE project and efforts to date related to readying the site for full FORGE implementation.
