The mechanical stability of a penny-shaped revervoir is characterized by fracture mechanics including thermoelastic effects in connection with research into the extraction of geothermal energy from hot dry rocks. The condition for stability of a reservoir, which is not changing radius by propagating or closing, requires 0m/sub 0/>m/sub asterisk/; and case 3; m/sub 0/=m/sub asterisk/.
