The reservoir structure of the Soultz HDR field has been investigated by examining induced microearthquake multiplets. Microseismic events with similar waveforms have been selected from microseismic data obtained during a 1993 hydraulic fracturing experiment. Precise relative arrival times and source locations have been determined by cross-spectrum analysis. The cross-spectrum analysis decreased the residual from 0.75 ms to 0.1 ms. The estimated orientations of the multiplet planes are consistent with fracture orientations detected in Soultz boreholes. A comparison between the stress field and the orientation of structural planes suggests that the structural planes were under a critical condition of frictional slip.
