Improved risk management for geothermal systems

Scientists report on a successful attempt to control induced seismicity during the deepest-ever hydraulic stimulation of a geothermal well. In a collaborative effort, researchers from commercial companies, academic institutions and universities, designed and successfully applied a safe stimulation strategy preventing the occurrence of a project-stopping induced earthquake with a magnitude larger than 2.
