Dear Gomez,
There are different trigger mechanisms (e.g., tectonic fracturing, hydro-fracturing, glacial loading/unloading, erosion/uplift) for fault growth and reactivation along the strike and dip direction and for further fluid leakage. This can be characterizing by using throw versus depth (t-z) and displacement versus distance (t-x) profiles and Expansion and growth indices.
These references may help you:

Dear Gomez,
You can look into the following interesting reference:
Caputo, R. 2010. Why joints are more abundant than faults. A conceptual model to estimate their ratio in layered carbonate rocks. Journal of Structural Geology 32 (9), 1257-1270.

Hi,
This early paper deals with stress drop after erahquakes, which,of course is related to the stress (~energy you mention) that was necessary for fault rupture.
Kind regards,
Erwin
