On the Role of Thermal Stresses during Hydraulic Stimulation of Geothermal Reservoirs
Massive quantities of fluid are injected into the subsurface during the creation of an engineered geothermal system (EGS) to induce shear fracture for enhanced reservoir permeability. In this numerical thermoelasticity study, we analyze the effect of cold fluid injection on the reservoir and the res...
