Overview

The Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy, commonly known as Utah FORGE, is a dedicated field laboratory for enhanced geothermal systems. The site enables researchers and technology developers to test drilling, stimulation, reservoir creation, monitoring, and circulation methods in a controlled subsurface environment. Its open data, field campaigns, and competitive research solicitations make it a central deployment program for next-generation geothermal technology.

Investment focus

Utah FORGE is designed around the need for repeatable field evidence. Enhanced geothermal systems must create and manage productive reservoirs in hot, low-permeability rock, so progress depends on instrumented drilling and stimulation experiments that can be measured, compared, and shared with the wider field.

Program details

Designed for Researchers, Founders, Operators.

Who it is for

Research participation and funding eligibility are defined by individual Utah FORGE solicitations and U.S. Department of Energy rules. Prospective teams should consult the official program and project sites for current research calls, technical requirements, schedules, and data-access conditions.
