Array Information Technology is proposing a project to address the need to understand the casual mechanisms of induced seismicity, and demonstrates the advantage of imaging the physical properties and temporal changes of the reservoir. The work will help to model the relationship between injection and production and larger magnitude events that have jeopardized, and in some cases suspended, the generation of energy from Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) worldwide. The outcome will be a suite of techniques applicable to assess hazard associated with EG Activities world-wide.
