The aim is to explore the design and implementation of proppant stimulation in enhanced geothermal systems targeting high temperatures.
Conducting geological and geophysical investigations at Newberry Volcano.
Drilling multiple deep exploration wells to assess thermal regimes and rock properties.
Developing a 3D conceptual geologic model for subsurface characterization.
Initial proppant stimulation successfully completed, achieving temperatures over 330°C.
Conductive thermal regimes identified, with some wells reaching temperatures above 350°C.
New data collection methods improved subsurface resistivity and density models.
