... water injection system. The initial attempts to perform fracture stimulations in the wells were not successful, as it was not possible to initiate a fracture (fracture breakdown) in 2 of the 4 wells, even after re-perforation. In the other two wells, it was possible to perform an injectivity test...

...Introduction Predicting fault seal breakdown is a challenging task because it involves many inter-related factors and complex relationships. Knowledge of these factors is both non-unique and subjective. Most faulting processes have been studied in isolation and the relationships among many...

During the later injection stages, a large number of triggered seismic events occurred. The events mostly came from faults...
