Fluid pressure drops during stimulation of segmented faults in deep geothermal reservoirs

Fluid pressure drops during stimulation of segmented faults in deep geothermal reservoirs

Abstract Hydraulic stimulation treatments required to produce deep geothermal reservoirs present the risk of generating induced seismicity. Understanding the processes that operate during the stimulation phase is critical for minimising and preventing the uncertainties associated with the exploitati...
