Iman R. Kivi has published a new paper on process understanding of injection-induced seismiciy in enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) in the International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences. This paper entitled “On the role of poroelastic stressing and pore pressure diffusion in discrete fracture and fault system in triggering post-injection seismicity in enhanced geothermal systems” provides an explanation for earthquakes induced unexpectedly after stopping reservoir stimulation at EGS sites with times delays as large as several months. This collaborative research involved scientists from Seoul National University, South Korea.
