%T Microseismic imaging of a geothermal reservoir stimulation
%X Exploitation of geothermal heat energy from rocks at depths of several km has been the goal of various projects since the mid-1970s. To exploit the energy in these deep rocks poses technical challenges in drilling, well  completion, creation of the heat exchange reservoir at depth, and control of seismicity. In spite of the diffi
culties, what are now known as enhanced/engineered geothermal systems (EGS) off er almost limitless clean energy, so it is not surprising that this technology continues to attract investors. However, commercial energy production from the greatest potential resource, hot rock  at depths >5 km or temperatures >200° C, remains elusive. ...
