FEAR-2 experiment updates
27 April 2026
The experiment was stopped on Saturday, 25 April at 08:30 as the seismic activity started occurring in a region with little to none scientific interests. The largest recorded event was a local magnitude -0.14. A more detailed report on the experiment will be published here soon.

The injection continued until 00:15 local time, when a power outage triggered the remote control system to safely stop the injection.
The issue responsible for the power outage has since been identified and fixed. The injection was restarted today at around 16:00 local time.

Today, at 14:00, we initiated the FEAR‑2 experiment. High‑pressure water injection is currently being conducted into two stimulation boreholes intersecting the target fault.
The injections are being carried out at flow rates of 90 L/min and 135 L/min, respectively, under injection pressure of 18 MPa.
