Fig. 8

The relative difference in shear stress solutions against the temperature profile on the fault plane for the case of no fault offset (top row) and normal fault offset (bottom row) as seen from the position of the injection/production well. A positive difference indicates MACRIS to predict a larger stress response compared to the uniaxial solution. The reservoir geometry is outlined in grey/black where the solid and dashed lines mark the reservoir interval in the foot- and hanging-wall, respectively
