Early Development
First experimental work in Lardello, Italy, by Prince GinoriConti in 1904, steam power plant, 5 light bulbs from 10 kWe dynamo.

World Geothermal Power
[Bertani, WGC 2015]
• 21 new power plants came online in 2014 adding about 610 MW of new capacity (highest since 1997)
• The global market is at about 12.8 GW of operating capacity (January 2015) in 24 countries.
• The World Bank estimates that 40 countries can meet a large proportion of their electricity demand by geothermal power.

Geothermal potential
• More than half of the projected increase from EGS resources• Substantially more research, development and demonstration needed to
ensure that EGS becomes commercially viable by 2030, but EGS could potentially provide base-load power from a large energy resource that is well-distributed globally

Enhanced geothermal systems
• Engineered reservoirs to produce energy from geothermal resources that are otherwise not economical due to lack of natural permeability and fluid.
• Reservoir performance depend on the presence of open, interconnected and distributed fracture networks or the ability to create such networks.

Induced seismicity
Different stages of injection for the ParalanaEGS project, Australia. Color events during injection, gray events after shut-in. Size of events correspond to size of circles. Largest event 2.3.
Location of microseismic events proxy for where fracture slip occurs [Albaric et al., 2013]

Induced seismicity
• Induced seismicity up to magnitude 3.4 observed in EGS projects
• Below 3.0 is considered as microearthquake
• Basel EGS project in Switzerland closed after 3.4 event (see Fig.)

Large induced seismicity after shut-in? Explanation [Parotidis et al., 2004; Baisch et al., 2010]:• pressure diffusion may lead to local pressure increase
even in the shut-in period after an injection has been terminated
• concentration of shear stress develops due to induced slip
? Explanation [Dahm et al., 2010; Jung, 2013]:• induced by large tensile wing fractures that develops

Environment• Large difference between
maximum and minimum horizontal stress
• Natural fractures already exist• Hard rock
Consequences• Fracture slip results in enhanced
fracture aperture due to contacting asperities or irregularities of the rock surfaces
• Its magnitude can be much larger than normal stress-induced opening

Coupled processes - Outlook
• fluid flow in the dominating fractures and the surrounding fractured rock
• opening, closing, shear slippage and dilation of fractures due to fluid pressure, normal and shear stresses
• stress transfer due to slip and opening
• rock matrix deformation• hysteresis effects• propagation of splay fractures• possible phase change of the fluid• reservoir cooling due to the
injection of cold fluid into the formation
