Understanding and mitigating the post-injection seismicity induced by fluid injection in enhanced geothermal systems
Auregan Boyet
Abstract:(English) Induced seismicity due to hydraulic stimulation and circulation is a hurdle for the development of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). The monitored seismicity has occasionally reached magnitudes large enough to be felt by local populations, and in several EGS cases the largest magnitude earthquakes occur few hours to several months after the cessation of the injection operations. This thesis aims to i) deepen the understanding of the processes that trigger such induced seismicity, ii) improve forecas… Show more
