Abstract The seismicity inside the Sichuan Basin in southwest China has been dramatically intensified with the increase of shale gas exploitation recently. On 8 September 2019, an MW 5.0 earthquake struck Weiyuan County in the Sichuan Basin, representing the largest earthquake in the Weiyuan shale gas field.

Abstract Fractures evolve in time through thermal‐hydraulic‐mechanical‐chemical (THMC) processes that alter their long‐range hydraulic transport properties and modify subsurface behavior and activities. The location of subsurface fractures makes it necessary to use remote sensing techniques such as passive or active seismic monitoring for fracture ...

Marine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is one of the largest reservoirs of fixed carbon on Earth, and its cycling contributes to ocean productivity and carbon storage. Despite its central role, efforts to characterize DOC reactivity and cycling in aquatic systems have been hampered by low recovery during isolation.

Abstract Drawing on ethnographic field research that I conducted in Houston, Texas since late 2018, I explore subterranean storage arrangements utilised by the US hydrocarbon industry. I argue that storage is vital not only to its pluri‐temporal strategies but to the outward projection of good governance.

Benefits of hydraulic fracking
If an average American heard the word ‘fracking’ ten years ago, chances are he or she would have worried about the manners of the speaker. Today, however, opinions about fracking are solidifying, and battle lines are being drawn, even if understanding remains sketchy.

Regulation Requires Records: Access to Fracking Information in the Marcellus/Utica Shale Formations
In the world of environmental regulation, records are the foundation on which all further regulatory action takes place. From permits that give industry permission to pollute in the name of economic activity, to annual production reports documenting how ...

Unconventional Wells Interference: Supervised Machine Learning for Detecting Fracture Hits
The primary objective of the study was development of a machine learning (ML)-based workflow for fracture hit (“frac hit”) detection and monitoring using shale oil-field data such as drilling surveys, production history (oil and produced water), pressure,
