Utah FORGE 2-2446: Connecting In Situ Stress and Wellbore Deviation to Near-Well Fracture Complexity using Phase-Field Simulations

Published by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: June 28, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-02-11T17:25:36Z
This report presents a series of numerical experiments investigating the relationships among near-well fracture complexity, in situ stress conditions, and wellbore deviation. Using a phase-field modeling approach, the study explores how factors such as stress regimes, wellbore orientation, and thermal cooling influence fracture propagation. The dataset includes a technical report detailing the modeling approach and findings, along with a repository of GEOS modeling input files. This work was conducted as part of Utah FORGE Project 2-2446, "Closing the Loop Between In-situ Stress Complexity and EGS Fracture Complexity."
