The here provided data are part of a broader analysis of past and present stimulation projects, revealing that the temporal evolution and growth of maximum observed moment magnitudes may be linked directly to the injected fluid volume and hydraulic energy. Analyzed projects include the most prominent European Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) projects in Basel, Switzerland (BAS) and Soultz-sous-Forêts (STZ), France. In Soultz, three different stimulations over the course of 10 years were performed in different wells and different depths. Therefore, we differentiate between the injections in 1993 (STZ93), 2000 (STZ00), and in 2003 (STZ03). We also included the deepest EGS Project to date (St1), located in Helsinki, Finland. Furthermore, we included the fluid-injection experiment from the German super deep scientific drilling hole (KTB), two Australian EGS projects, located at Paralana (Para) and the 2003 Cooper Basin (CBN) injection, as well as the EGS project near Pohang, South Korea. Finally, we also considered a single well injection period at the Berlín geothermal field (BGF), El Salvador, representing the only hydrothermal site considered here.
For each project the cumulative volume injected is provided along with the applied hydraulic energy, maximum observed seismic moment, cumulative seismic moment, and injection efficiency as tab separated ASCII files with the .csv extension. All stimulation files are combined into a single .zip archive. More details on processing steps and references herein can be found in the accompanying data description.
