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

X Lei, J Su, Z Wang - Science China Earth Sciences, 2020 - Springer
Abstract In the Sichuan Basin, seismic activity has been low historically, but in the past few

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 …

Induced earthquake magnitudes are as large as (statistically) expected

NJ Van der Elst, MT Page, DA Weiser… - Journal of …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
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 …
