Study on Fault Activation Evaluation Mechanism and Sensitivity Analysis in Shale Gas Hydraulic Fracturing

open access: yesGeofluids, 2023
Shale gas hydraulic fracturing usually activates nearby faults and makes them slip. In horizontal wells, fault slip can result in serious casing deformation.

Hardening and Hollowing Out Private Property: Rentiership, Dispossession, and Planetary Extraction in the Marcellus Shale

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Southwestern Pennsylvania (SWPA) has long been an energy extractive periphery, continuously remade through cycles of dispossession and accumulation. Here we examine the changing dynamics of private property in these cycles and its central role in the latest phase of extraction—unconventional oil and gas development (UOGD).

Investigation of Hydraulic Fracturing Behavior in Heterogeneous Laminated Rock Using a Micromechanics-Based Numerical Approach

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
Understanding hydraulic fracturing mechanisms in heterogeneous laminated rocks is important for designing and optimizing well production, as well as for predicting shale gas production. In this study, a micromechanics-based numerical approach was used to

US Foreign Policy and the Gulf States: Changing Dynamics in a Multipolar World

open access: yesWorld Affairs, Volume 188, Issue 4, Winter 2025.
ABSTRACT This article focuses on US foreign policy toward the Gulf from Obama's Pivot to Asia to the initial period of the second Trump administration. It situates the role of the US within the broader context of the global energy transition and the Gulf states as geopolitical actors in a multipolar world order.

Where Oil Is King [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Donald Trump has won the 2016 presidential election, and, based on his campaign rhetoric, it seems reasonable to anticipate that the next four years will see a rollback of federal rules and regulations originally intended to combat climate change and ...

Assembling for Water: The Prefigurative Politics of Land Futures in Argentina

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 57, Issue 6, Page 2213-2240, November 2025.
Abstract As in other areas of Argentina, residents from the Norte Neuquino in the northwestern reaches of Patagonia are concerned about the recent advancements of extractivism onto their territories. Their analysis is clear: the environmental crisis is directly linked to a democratic one, and they engage in a wide range of actions to envision and enact

Anisotropy in Fracking: A Percolation Model for Observed Microseismicity

open access: yes, 2014
Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) using high pressures and a low viscosity fluid allow the extraction of large quantiles of oil and gas from very low permeability shale formations.

Devil and angel shifts in collective action: A call for integration and improvements

open access: yesPolicy Studies Journal, Volume 53, Issue 4, Page 1014-1044, November 2025.
Abstract Devil and Angel Shifts are commonly applied concepts in policy research. Using the two concepts in related but different theoretical frameworks – the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) and the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) – provokes potential challenges of cross‐theoretical dialogue, the establishment of methodological best practices, and ...

The 2021 Ms 6.0 Luxian (China) Earthquake: Blind Reverse‐Fault Rupture in Deep Sedimentary Formations Likely Induced by Pressure Perturbation From Hydraulic Fracturing

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
To resolve the occurrence mechanism of the Luxian earthquake occurred near an active hydraulic fracturing well pad on 15 September 2021, we first use seismic waveforms to invert the focal mechanism solution and centroid depth, and then utilize Sentinel‐1
