Utah FORGE 3-2418: Wellbore Fracture Imaging Using Inflow Detection Measurements - Workshop Presentation

This is a presentation on the Wellbore Fracture Imaging Using Inflow Detection Measurements project by Stanford University, presented by Dr. Roland N. Horne. The project's objective was to make measurements in the Utah FORGE wells, both before and after fracturing experiments, to map the fractures and estimate their flow magnitude. The approach utilizes a ion-specific electrode that will measure chloride in the well. The idea is that water flowing into the well from the fractures will have a different concentration of chloride than the surrounding water. This presentation was featured in the Utah FORGE R&D Annual Workshop on September 8, 2023. The workshop provided a valuable opportunity to explore the progress made in each of the 17 Research and Development projects funded under Solicitation 2020-1 which aim to enhance our understanding of the crucial factors influencing the development of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) reservoirs and resources.

Biomass Indirect Liquefaction Strategy: Workshop Summary Report

This report is based on the proceedings of the U.S. Department of Energy Bioenergy Technologies Office Biomass Indirect Liquefaction Strategy Workshop. The workshop, held March 20–21, 2014, in Golden, Colorado, discussed and detailed the research and development needs for biomass indirect liquefaction. Discussions focused on pathways that convert biomass-based syngas (or any carbon monoxide, hydrogen gaseous stream) to liquid intermediates (alcohols or acids) and further synthesize those intermediates to liquid hydrocarbons that are compatible as either a refinery feed or neat fuel.

Proceedings of RIKEN BNL Research Center Workshop: Jet Observables at the Electron-Ion Collider (Volume 136) [Slides]

As the realization of an Electron Ion Collider (EIC) moves forward, efforts from the nuclear physics community continue to grow. In addition to the ongoing detector R&D efforts, plans for novel analysis topics must be demonstrated to aid in the detector designs, so that we can maximize the physics output of the EIC. This relies on input from both the experimental and theory communities. The aim of this workshop is to gather experts as well as those with a developing interest in the EIC so that theorists and experimentalists with experience measuring jets in a variety of hadronic collision systems can discuss the possible advantages and challenges of making measurements of jets in e+p and for the first time ever jets in e+A collisions at the EIC. In the time since the EIC white paper was written in 2011, there has been a growing recognition that jet observables could be a powerful probe of many of the physics topics which will be addressed by the EIC. Recent years have seen a multitude of both theoretical and experimental papers exploring the utility of jets for topics as diverse as determining the hadronic structure of photons, studying the 3D structure of the nucleon, and characterizing the properties of the matter found in nuclei. The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for both theorists and experimentalists to discuss the possible advantages and challenges of jet measurements in e+p and e+A collisions at the EIC, learn about the status of necessary simulation tools, consider requirements on detector performance, and propose new ideas for jet observables and measurements. This proceedings report is a compilation of slides from the presentations.
