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 moment magnitude (M w) 5.5 earthquake that struck South Korea in November 2017
was one of the largest and most damaging events in that country over the past century. Its …

Immediately after a large earthquake, the main question asked by the public and decision-
makers is whether it was the mainshock or a foreshock to an even stronger event yet to …

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 …

We performed a series of hydraulic stimulations at 1.1 km depth in the Bedretto underground
laboratory, Switzerland, as part of an overall research strategy attempting to understand …

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 …

Earthquakes induced by subsurface fluid injection pose a significant issue across a range of
industries. Debate continues as to the most effective methods to mitigate the resulting …

We present an overview of induced seismicity due to subsurface engineering in the
Netherlands. Our overview includes events induced by gas extraction, underground gas …

Risks from induced earthquakes are a growing concern that needs effective management.
For hydraulic fracturing of the Eagle Ford shale in southern Texas, we developed a risk …
