This is a presentation on the Closing the Loop Between In-situ Stress Complexity and EGS Fracture Complexity project by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, presented by Dr. Fan (Frank) Fei. The project's objective was to employ a combination of high-fidelity simulations and true-triaxial block fracturing tests at high temperature to explore the intricate relationship between in-situ stress and hydraulic fracture patterns and better characterize the in-situ stress at Utah FORGE. This presentation was featured at the Utah FORGE R&D Annual Workshop on September 8, 2025. The workshop offered a valuable opportunity to review the progress of Research and Development projects funded under Solicitation 2020-1, which aim to improve our understanding of the key factors influencing Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) reservoir and resource development.
