Fault structure, stress, or pressure control of the seismicity in shale? Insights from a controlled experiment of fluid‐induced fault reactivation
Clay formations are present in reservoirs and earthquake faults, but questions remain on
their mechanical behavior, as they can vary from ductile (aseismic) to brittle (seismic). An …
