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 …

The development of most unconventional oil and gas resources relies upon subsurface
injection of very large volumes of fluids, which can induce earthquakes by activating slip on …

This paper presents a timely and detailed study of significant injection-induced seismicity
recently observed in the Sichuan Basin, China, where shale-gas hydraulic fracturing has …

A sharp increase in the frequency of earthquakes near Fox Creek, Alberta, began in
December 2013 in response to hydraulic fracturing. Using a hydraulic fracturing database …

Mitigating hydraulic fracturing-induced seismicity (HF-IS) poses a challenge for shale gas
companies and regulators alike. The use of Traffic Light Schemes (TLSs) is the most …

Induced seismicity due to fluid injection, including hydraulic fracturing, is an increasingly
common phenomenon worldwide; yet, the mechanisms by which hydraulic fracturing causes …

Fracking has become a hot topic in the media and public discourse not only because of its
economic benefit but also its environmental impacts. Recently, scientists have investigated …

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

Hydraulic fracturing (HF) in the Duvernay Formation near Fox Creek, Alberta, Canada, has
produced some of the most prolific clusters of induced seismicity. In this paper, we describe …
