| Abstract | Additional horizontal wells have been drilled at depth near Milford, Utah. We assume a stimulation plan similar to that used at Blue Mountain, Nevada (Norbeck, Latimer, 2023). We model the stimulation using averaged parameter values from cores from the Utah FORGE site (Ghassemi, Zhou, 2023, McLennan, 2018a). Initial results show extensive fracturing consistent with stimulation results at the nearby Utah FORGE site. |
