Abstract

Expanded Abstract

This is a comprehensive characterization of rock analysis, drill-cuttings, and wireline data for Well 58-32 from the Utah FORGE project. This data is publically available on the Geothermal Data Repository:

Energy and Geoscience Institute at the University of Utah. (2018). Utah FORGE: Well 58-32 Schlumberger FMI Logs DLIS and XML files (http://gdr.openei.org/submissions/1006). Retrieved from https://dx.doi.org/10.15121/1464529.

Discussion: I've been recently playing with the image logs for this well (FMI and Sonic Scanner), I wonder if there is a way to incorporate deformation and fracture features? Maybe as a way to modulate facies classification in disturbed regions of the borehole?

This well is a real playground for all things borehole!
