Hydraulic fracturing‐induced seismicity
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 …

Growing seismicity in the Sichuan Basin and its association with industrial activities
Abstract In the Sichuan Basin, seismic activity has been low historically, but in the past few
decades, a series of moderate to strong earthquakes have occurred. Especially since 2015 …

Injection‐induced seismicity: Poroelastic and earthquake nucleation effects
P Segall, S Lu - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
The standard model of injection‐induced seismicity considers changes in Coulomb strength
due solely to changes in pore pressure. We consider two additional effects: full poroelastic …

Myths and facts on wastewater injection, hydraulic fracturing, enhanced oil recovery, and induced seismicity
The central United States has undergone a dramatic increase in seismicity over the past 6
years (Fig. 1), rising from an average of 24 M≥ 3 earthquakes per year in the years 1973 …

Induced earthquake magnitudes are as large as (statistically) expected
A major question for the hazard posed by injection‐induced seismicity is how large induced
earthquakes can be. Are their maximum magnitudes determined by injection parameters or …
