Effect of linguistic framing and information provision on attitudes towards induced seismicity and seismicity regulation [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Shale gas is an expanding energy source worldwide, yet ‘fracking’ remains controversial. Amongst public concerns is induced seismicity (tremors). The UK had the most stringent induced seismicity regulations in the world, prior to instating a moratorium ...

Mitigating risks from hydraulic fracturing-induced seismicity in unconventional reservoirs: case study [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The recent remarkable increase in induced seismicity in Western Canada has been largely attributed to hydraulic fracturing in unconventional reservoirs. The nucleation of large magnitude events has been demonstrated to be closely linked to site-specific ...

Movers and Shakers: Stock Market Response to Induced Seismicity in Oil and Gas Business [PDF]
Energies, 2021 Investors increasingly need to account for concerns about non-financial performance and to consider the environmental impact of fossil fuel investment. We analyze how financial investors appreciate induced seismicity in oil and gas fields in the US and ...

Statistical bounds on how induced seismicity stops [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Earthquakes caused by human activities receive scrutiny due to the risks and hazards they pose. Seismicity that occurs after the causative anthropogenic operation stops has been particularly problematic—both because of high-profile cases of damage caused

The plausibility of claimed induced seismicity [PDF]
Scientific ReportsClaims of industrially induced seismicity vary from indisputable to unpersuasive and yet the veracity of industrial induction is vital for regulatory and operational practice. Assessment schemes have been developed in response to this need.

Interevent-time distribution and aftershock frequency in non-stationary induced seismicity [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 The initial footprint of an earthquake can be extended considerably by triggering of clustered aftershocks. Such earthquake–earthquake interactions have been studied extensively for data-rich, stationary natural seismicity.
