Fracture Mapping in the Soultz-sous-Forets Geothermal Field from Microearthquake Relocation

In 2003, a massive hydraulic fracturing experiment was carried out at the European Geothermal Hot Dry Rock site at Soultz-sous-Forêts, France. The two week injection of water generated a high level of microseismic activity. About 90,000 microearthquakes were triggered during and after this fluid inj...
