Balancing reservoir creation and seismic hazard in enhanced geothermal systems [PDF]

, 2017
Fracture shear-dilatancy is an essential process for enhancing the permeability of deep geothermal reservoirs, and is usually accompanied by the radiation of seismic waves. However, the hazard and risk perspective of induced seismicity research typically

Fracture Network Characterization and Thermal Performance Prediction in Enhanced Geothermal Reservoirs Using Covariance Matrix Adaptation and Embedded Discrete Fracture Model

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Fracture networks constitute essential conduits for fluid and heat transport in enhanced geothermal systems (EGSs), yet their characterization is challenging due to the inherent geological complexities. This study develops an integrated inversion framework for effective fracture network characterization.

Development of 1D Hybrid Hydromechanical Models for Real‐Time Forecasting of Induced Seismicity Rate

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Hydraulic stimulations play an important role in Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) by increasing the permeability of the host rock and facilitating more efficient fluid circulation and heat extraction. However, fluid injection operations are unavoidably accompanied by induced earthquakes.
