| Abstract | Stimulation techniques are commonly applied in crystalline rocks to increase extraction of underground resources; including oil, natural gas, geothermal energy, and even groundwater. In the framework of the research project STIROMAS (STImulation of ROck MASsif), the research aims at verifying the capability of creating a fracture network using hydraulic pulse fracturing method. The STIROMAS project is co-funded by the Czech Ministry of Industry of Trade in the framework of program "TIP" under Project ID FR-TI3/523. |
