Well 78-32 Summary and Data
Utah FORGE Wells Including 78-32
(Coordinates: UTM Zone 12 N, NAD83)
Considering the focus of the Utah FORGE project it is critical that seismicity is closely monitored. A plan was put in place in January 2019 to drill two new seismic monitoring wells including wells 78-32 and 68-32 with Well 68-32 having conventional geophones installed. After completion of drilling well 78-32 had 74 joints of 5-1/2 casing run with Silixa fiber optic cable strapped on from below coupling on the float collar and float shoe set at 3268ft. The fiber optic cable was successfully tested. This well was also used to test the capacity of the groundwater aquifer during drilling.
Well 78-32 was drilled between March 9th and March 19th, 2019 to a depth of 3,280 feet. It is a shallow vertical well that is used for seismic monitoring. It is located on Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands (SITLA) property.
