Fracking bad language – hydraulic fracturing and earthquake risks [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscience Communication, 2021
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a borehole stimulation technique used to enhance permeability in geological resource management, including the extraction of shale gas. The process of hydraulic fracturing can induce seismicity.

Prediction of mining-induced seismicity and damage assessment of induced surface buildings in thick and hard key stratum working face: a case study of Liuhuanggou coal mine in China

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Thick and hard key stratum working faces are characterized by frequent mine tremors and significant ground tremors during mining which seriously threaten the safety production of the mine.

Global review of induced earthquakes in oil and gas production fields

open access: yes地球与行星物理论评, 2021
Human-induced earthquakes have a long history, which could be caused by impoundment of reservoirs, underground mining, geothermal operations, oil and gas production, and wastewater injection.

Identification of the ground movements caused by mining-induced seismicity with the satellite interferometry [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2020
The assessment of the impact of mining-induced seismicity on the natural environment and infrastructure is often limited to the analysis of terrain surface vibrations.

Hydraulic Fracturing‐Induced Seismicity [PDF]

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, 2020
AbstractHydraulic 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 to propagate. This technique has been transformative for the hydrocarbon industry, unlocking otherwise stranded resources; however, environmental concerns make

Testing Hypotheses for Geological Controls on Hydraulic-Fracturing-Induced Seismicity in the Montney Formation, Canada

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
Hydraulic fracturing (HF) can trigger induced seismicity, but documented occurrences tend to be localized compared with the regional extent of industry operations.

Validating induced seismicity forecast models—Induced Seismicity Test Bench [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2016
AbstractInduced earthquakes often accompany fluid injection, and the seismic hazard they pose threatens various underground engineering projects. Models to monitor and control induced seismic hazard with traffic light systems should be probabilistic, forward‐looking, and updated as new data arrive.

A novel approach to assessing nuisance risk from seismicity induced by UK shale gas development, with implications for future policy design [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020
We propose a novel framework for assessing the risk associated with seismicity induced by hydraulic fracturing, which has been a notable source of recent public concern. The framework combines statistical forecast models for injection-induced seismicity,

Evolution of Interior and Exterior Bearing Structures of the Deep-Soft-Rock Roadway: From Theory to Field Test in the Pingdingshan Mining Area

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
Pingdingshan mining area is one of the typical deep mining areas in China, and most of the mines in this area are troubled by the difficulties of the deep-soft-rock roadway support.
