To Bleed-Off or Not to Bleed-Off?

Bleed-off and shut-in of injection have been implemented in different Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) in an attempt to mitigate the induced seismicity at and after the injection stop. This article tackles the controversial discussion on the mitigation of the post-injection induced seismicity throu...
