The goal of this study is to review 18 significant enhanced geothermal system (EGS) sites
and technologies that have been applied in the European Union, Japan, South Korea …

By utilizing stimulation technologies, the enhanced geothermal system has emerged as a
highly promising technology in harvesting geothermal energy. In this work, we provide a …

A coupled thermal-hydro-mechanical (THM) model based on the combined finite-discrete
element method (FDEM) is presented for simulating rock cracking driven by multi-physics …

This paper experimentally evaluates and quantitatively compares stress-induced damage
progression and acoustic emission (AE) in granite and sandstone based on continuous …

In this paper, a peridynamic-enhanced finite element formulation is introduced for the
numerical simulation of thermo–hydro–mechanical coupled problems in saturated porous …

A fully coupled thermal-hydraulic-mechanical (THM) finite element model is presented for
fractured geothermal reservoirs. Fractures are modelled as surface discontinuities within a …

We develop a fully-coupled hydro-mechanical model to simulate fluid injection-induced
activation of pre-existing fractures, propagation of new damages, development of seismic …

All reservoirs are fractured to some degree. Depending on the density, dimension,
orientation and the cementation of natural fractures and the location where the hydraulic …

In this contribution, we present a review of scientific research results that address seismo-
hydromechanically coupled processes relevant for the development of a sustainable heat …

In geothermal projects, reinjection of produced water has been widely applied for disposing
wastewater, supplying heat exchange media and maintaining reservoir pressure …
