        abstract = {In the middle of the 1980s, the so-called Hot Dry Rock (HDR) projects were under consideration, aiming at exploiting the heat stored in deep rocks by circulating heat-bearing fluids in closed loops through fracture networks artificially created in the rock by hydraulic fracturation. The typical geological targets of such projects were hot, and therefore necessarily deep crystalline massifs, which were supposed to be sufficiently tight in order to allow fluid transfers without too much loss of heat bearing fluids between the injection well and the production well, through one or several fractures, artificially maintained open under a sufficiently high pressure in order to allow the expected flow.}
