Hot Dry Rocks (HDR) are areas where geothermal can work better if naturally occurring fractures can be enlarged, extended, and enhanced allowing more fluid to connect with the HDR resulting in a much greater power output than is achieved by tradition geothermal systems.  EGS works by injecting fluid and proppant into the HDR to greatly increase the long-term productive fracture network.  Integral to this process is the ability to monitor this stimulation to quantify the newly propped fracture network and use this information to improve the stimulation of future wells.
