Modeling Responses of Naturally Fractured Geothermal Reservoir to Low-Pressure Stimulation

Hydraulic shearing is an appealing reservoir stimulation strategy for Enhanced Geothermal Systems. It is believed that hydro-shearing is likely to simulate a fracture network that covers a relatively large volume of the reservoir whereas hydro-fracturing tends to create a small nu...
