Geothermal energy is a green source of power that could play an important role in climate‐
conscious energy portfolios; enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) have the potential to …

Induced seismicity associated with fluid injection into underground formations jeopardizes
the sustainable utilization of the subsurface. Understanding the fault behavior is the key to …

On the afternoon of 15 November 2017, the coastal city of Pohang, Korea, was rocked by a
magnitude 5.5 earthquake (M w, US Geological Survey). Questions soon arose about the …

We show that near–real-time seismic monitoring of fluid injection allowed control of induced
earthquakes during the stimulation of a 6.1-km-deep geothermal well near Helsinki, Finland …

Heat transported from deep within Earth's crust can be used to generate electricity or provide
direct heating by circulating fluid through permeable fracture networks in hot rock. Because …

Cyclic hydraulic fracturing, which employs cyclic injection with alternating high and low
injection rates or pressurization, is suggested to assist in reducing induced seismicity. Our …

Hydraulic injection by the Pohang enhanced geothermal systems (EGSs) has been
suspected to trigger the 2017 moment magnitude (MW) 5.5 Pohang earthquake in South …

Understanding the physical mechanisms that underpin the link between fluid injection and
seismicity is essential in efforts to mitigate the seismic risk associated with subsurface …

This article reviews laboratory experimental studies on hydraulic fracturing under triaxial and
true triaxial stress conditions in crystalline rock for geothermal purposes, and places …

Earthquakes induced by subsurface fluid injection pose a significant issue across a range of
industries. Debate continues as to the most effective methods to mitigate the resulting …
