“…Each HF experiment includes four injection cycles: a breakdown cycle (i.e., initiation of the fracture) followed by three fracture reopening cycles. In all three experiments, almost all seismic events occurred during fracture reopening, but only a few events were associated with the breakdown of the rock (similar as reported for HF experiments by Zang et al, 2017). Seismicity rates seem to depend on injection rate, even though injection rate is the same for the breakdown cycle and the first reopening cycles (i.e., 1 L min −1 ) but seismicity rates are not (Fig.…”

“…For that purpose, we adapt the concept used by Goebel et al (2012) for laboratory event magnitudes, but we also account for the seismic attenuation of the wave as suggested by Zang et al (2017):…”

“…This site is equipped with a thermal fluid loop including an electrical submersible pump and a research power plant, and is being used to investigate EGS technologies for deep sedimentary basins (e.g., Blöcher et al 2016). The Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory in Sweden has hosted a series of multi-stage hydraulic fracturing experiments in boreholes drilled in granodiorite to evaluate how differences in fluidinjection tactics (continuous, progressive, and pulse pressurization) affect the amount and intensity of induced seismicity and changes in fracture permeability (Zang et al 2016). The US Department of Energy's Geothermal Technology Office has created the Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE) to develop and test the next-generation technologies needed to characterize, access, create, and sustain EGS reservoirs.…”
