“…The coupled THM models of the EGS used for calibration of permeability distribution were developed progressively, e.g., going from a 2D plane model with a shear-zone network (Jeanne et al, 2014a) to a full 3D model (Jeanne et al, 2014b), and an explicit well model that considered well-head pressure rather than bottom-hole pressure (Jeanne et al, 2014c). More pressure monitoring data were also included in the analysis as they became available, ending in Jeanne et al (2014c) with a calibration to pressure monitoring data from three wells (PS-31, P-25, P-38) over a 450-day period.…”

“…Associated with this modeling, Jeanne et al (2014b) investigated the observed cyclic behavior in ground-surface deformation data that appeared to be correlated with precipitation in the area. Such cyclic seasonal response to precipitation would likely be strongly dependent on the local ground conditions, e.g., soft swelling clay would respond differently than bare rock or engineered structures.…”

“…It sequentially couples the geomechanical code FLAC3D [164] with the multi-phase flow and heat transport code TOUGH2 [167]. Jeanne et al [168] simulate the geothermal reservoir by an equivalent continuum with implicit representation of fractures and by explicit description of identified shear zones which will have different hydraulic and mechanical properties. A MohrCoulomb failure criterion is applied and the medium is assumed to be critically stressed to compute the relative variation of the maximum and minimum effective stresses necessary to induce shear.…”

“…Indeed, previous geodetic analyses of geothermal regions have already been performed and have shown that vertical and horizontal displacements have been caused by geothermal exploitation (e.g. Massonnet et al 1997;Carnec and Fabriol 1999;Fialko and Simons 2000;Nishijima et al 2005;Glowacka et al 2010;Jeanne et al 2014). Note that surface displacement can also be observed during the drilling phase (Lubitz et al 2013).…”
