On the link between stress field and small-scale hydraulic fracture growth in anisotropic rock derived from microseismicity

To characterize the stress field at the Grimsel Test Site (GTS) underground rock laboratory, a series of hydrofracturing and overcoring tests were performed. Hydrofracturing was accompanied by seismic monitoring using a network of highly sensitive piezosensors and accelerometers that were able t...
