To resolve the occurrence mechanism of the Luxian earthquake occurred near an active
hydraulic fracturing well pad on 15 September 2021, we first use seismic waveforms to invert …

Hydraulic fracturing has induced small‐to‐moderate‐size earthquakes around the world.
Identifying spatio‐temporal evolution of microseismicity is important for understanding the …

Aseismic slip loading has recently been proposed as a complementary mechanism to
induce moderate-sized earthquakes located within a few kilometers of the wellbore over the …

From 2017 to 2019, three destructive earthquakes (27 January 2017 Mw 4.7, 16 December
2018 Mw 5.2, and 3 January 2019 Mw 4.8) occurred in the Changning shale gas field in the …

Depths of earthquake occurrence and large slip distribution are critical for seismic hazard
assessment. Numerous examples show that earthquakes with similar magnitudes, however …

Identifying the causal factors behind elevated seismicity rates in areas with multiple ongoing
oil and gas activities has always been a challenging issue that is lacking a homogeneous …

Seismic activity near the shale gas fields in the Sichuan Basin of China has risen
significantly in the past few years. Due to the lack of industrial stimulation data to the public …

Accurate documentation of the location and geometry of seismogenic faults are critical for
understanding strong seismicity and seismic hazard mitigation. A rising concern worldwide …

Seismic hazard assessment and risk mitigation depend critically on rapid analysis and
characterization of earthquake sequences. Increasing seismicity in shale gas blocks of the …
