Anthropogenic operations involving underground fluid extraction or injection can cause
unexpectedly large and even damaging earthquakes, despite operational and regulatory …

Hot dry rock geothermal resources are widely distributed at various reservoir depths,
possessing high energy potential and substantial extraction prospects. Heat extraction …

Hydraulic fracturing (HF) is a technique that is used for extracting petroleum resources from
impermeable host rocks. In this process, fluid injected under high pressure causes fractures …

As recently as 2015, it was common in the scientific literature to find assertions that the risk
of triggering a damaging earthquake by hydraulic fracturing (HF)—an industrial process …

Abstract In the Sichuan Basin, seismic activity has been low historically, but in the past few
decades, a series of moderate to strong earthquakes have occurred. Especially since 2015 …

Geothermal energy is a green source of power that could play an important role in climate‐
conscious energy portfolios; enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) have the potential to …

The basic triggering mechanism underlying induced seismicity traces back to the mid‐1960s
that relied on the process of pore‐fluid pressure diffusion. The last decade has experienced …

Induced seismicity is a limiting factor for the development of Enhanced Geothermal Systems
(EGS). Its causal mechanisms are not fully understood, especially those of post-injection …

The fundamental objective of earthquake engineering is to protect lives and livelihoods
through the reduction of seismic risk. Directly or indirectly, this generally requires …

We link changes in crustal permeability to informative features of microearthquakes (MEQs)
using two field hydraulic stimulation experiments where both MEQs and permeability …
