Geophysics in Geothermal Exploration

147 4. Towards a revisited geothermal conceptual model in the Upper Rhine Graben permeable enough in the Permian sandstones and this site was abandoned without any attempt of flow enhancement. In Basel, the occurrence of an induced seismic event was felt during the shut-in of a post-hydraulic stimulation operation done in a 5 km geothermal well drilled in a granite. A magnitude higher than 3.4 was then felt in 2006 causing the full stop of the Basel geothermal project (Häring et al., 2008).
