Energy partition in hydraulic-stimulation process. (a) True triaxial laboratory tests in Pocheon granite (CC = constant rate continuous, SC = stepwise rate continuous, CP = cyclic progressive); (b) underground test in naturally fractured granodiorite at Äspö HRL, Sweden (HF = hydraulic fracturing experiment); and (c) field stimulation at Pohang EGS site (PX1 = borehole PX1). All tests performed at all scales are flow-rate controlled.
