Fiber Optic Circulator Test Report
This is a technical report on the acquisition, processing and analysis of fiber optic data collected in the Utah FORGE 16B (78)-32 well during cross well circulation tests and huff and puff testing that were executed by Texas Tech University and California Statue. Thorlabs' Optical Circulators are non-reciprocating, one-directional, three port devices which are great for bidirectional propagation of light in a single fiber. The 2024 circulation tests at the Utah FORGE site demonstrated a significant improvement in reservoir conductivity and fluid recovery following commercial-scale hydraulic stimulation. They perform a similar function as an isolator, protecting the input fiber from return power, but also allowing the.
