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 …

Clustering of earthquake magnitudes is still actively debated, compared to well-established
spatial and temporal clustering. Magnitude clustering is not currently implemented in …

Industrial activity away from plate boundaries can induce earthquakes and has evolved into
a global issue. Much of the induced seismicity in the United States' midcontinent is attributed …

Earthquakes induced by human activities can impede the development of underground
resources. Significant induced events (M5) have caused both economic and human losses …

Most current seismicity in the southern US midcontinent is related to oil and gas operations
(O&G Ops). In Texas, although recorded earthquakes are of low‐to‐moderate magnitude …

The Delaware basin of west Texas and southeast New Mexico has experienced elevated
earthquake rates linked spatiotemporally to unconventional petroleum operations. Limited …

Rates of seismicity in the Delaware Basin of Texas and New Mexico increased from 10
earthquakes per year of local magnitude (ML) 3.0 and above in 2017 to more than 185 in …

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 …

Here we used Sentinel‐1 interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data acquired
between November 2014 to January 2019 to map how the basin's surface has deformed in …

We demonstrate that pore pressure and stress changes resulting from several decades of oil
and gas production significantly affect the likelihood of injection-related induced seismicity …
