A physics-informed optimization workflow to manage injection while constraining induced seismicity: The Oklahoma case

A newly developed modelling framework is presented which specifically focusses on the central Oklahoma case and the high-volume injection of wastewater, which led to a surge of induced seismicity. However, the modelling framework is versatile enough to be applied to any anthropogenic subsurface activities and should be seen as a good practice to...

Effects of fault transmissivity on the potential of fault reactivation and induced seismicity: Implications for understanding induced seismicity at Pohang EGS

Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) involve hydraulic stimulation of the permeability of deep low-permeable rock formations. This causes the reactivation and opening of pre-existing natural fracture networks and the formation of new fractures. During hydraulic stimulation, injection pressures at the bottom of the injection well can reach...
