Final stimulation in this series today

Final stimulation in this series today

Today another small stimulation is taking place which will be the last stimulation of this series that started in July. The same procedure from the previous two stimulations will be repeated to check if earlier results can be replicated and show to what end the reservoir is durable.

Again, the team will inject relatively small volumes of water in one intervall. From the experience of the previous stimulations in this intervall, only small seismic events are expected to happen. As always, the usual safety layers are deployed. If predefined safety thresholds in magnitude or vibration are reached, the injection is halted and bleed off initiated.
