Seismoelectric effects for geothermal resource assesment and monitoring
Geothermal systems involve the injection of large amounts of fluid into the subsurface. Identifying fracture networks will significantly help
- to assess geothermal resources by mapping pre-existing fracture networks,
- to inform on stimulation successes and risk mitigation by mapping newly activated fracture networks. Traditional seismic imaging techniques fail to resolve fluid-phase properties, while purely electromagnetic (EM) approaches provide limited, low-resolution constraints on the rock structure.
