Thermoporoelastic stress perturbations from hydraulic fracturing and thermal depletion in enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) and implications for fault reactivation and seismicity

Hydraulic fracturing then fluid circulation in enhanced geothermal system (EGS) reservoirs have been shown to induce seismicity remote from the stimulation – potentially generated by the distal projection of thermoporoelastic stresses. We explore this phenomenon by evaluating stress perturbations re...
