Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of the complete stress tensor to 8 km depth in the KTB scientific drill holes: Implications for crustal strength
TL;DR: In this article, a continuous profile of the magnitudes and orientations of the three principal stresses has been estimated to depths of 7.7 km and 8.6 km in the German Continental Deep Drilling Program (KTB).
Journal ArticleDOI
The deep EGS (Enhanced Geothermal System) project at Soultz-sous-Forêts (Alsace, France)
Journal ArticleDOI
Upper-crustal strength inferred from stress measurements to 6 km depth in the KTB borehole
Mark D. Zoback,R. Apel,J. Baumgärtner,M. Brudy,Rolf Emmermann,B. Engeser,Karl Fuchs,W. Kessels,H. Rischmüller,Fritz Rummel,Lev Vernik +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report estimates of the magnitude of in situstresses to 6 km depth in the KTB borehole in southern Germany, and suggest that plate-driving forces in the continental lithosphere in this part of western Europe are transmitted principally through the upper crust.
Journal ArticleDOI
HDR/HWR reservoirs: concepts, understanding and creation
TL;DR: The results of the 1997 circulation test at Soultz-sous-Forets (France) certainly seem to show that we may have come up with a type of concept and an appropriate set of background site conditions to advance the technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shear fracture energy of rock at high pressure and high temperature
Zhang Liu,Fritz Rummel +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of confining pressure/normal stress and temperature on shear fracture energy of rocks have been studied with intact samples of sandstones, and both the nominal values of the fracture energy and the inferred values G for the loading path satisfying constant normal stress have been derived.
