Seismic response to evolving injection at the Rotokawa geothermal field, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Catalogs of microseismicity are routinely compiled at geothermal reservoirs and provide valuable insights into reservoir structure and fluid movement.

Global physics-based database of injection-induced seismicity [PDF]

open access: yesEarth System Science Data, 2023
Fluid injection into geological formations for energy resource development frequently induces (micro)seismicity. Moderate- to large-magnitude induced earthquakes may cause injuries and/or economic loss, with the consequence of jeopardizing the operation ...

A physics-informed optimization workflow to manage injection while constraining induced seismicity: The Oklahoma case

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
A newly developed modelling framework is presented which specifically focusses on the central Oklahoma case and the high-volume injection of wastewater, which led to a surge of induced seismicity.

Induced Seismicity Reduces Seismic Hazard? [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2019
AbstractEarthquakes caused by human activities have been observed for decades. Often these are related to industrial activities pumping fluids into deep geologic formations, like with wastewater disposal. The simplest theory connecting these processes to earthquakes is straightforward: injection leads to fluid pressure changes that either reduce the ...

Deep Well Injection Induced Seismicity

open access: yesCivil Engineering Dimension, 2022
Injection of fluid into subsurface geologic strata for geothermal energy, oil production, and waste disposal has been linked to induced seismic activity in the United States as well as in several other countries.

Fluid-induced seismicity: comparison of rate- and state- and critical pressure theory

open access: yesGeothermal Energy, 2017
Induced seismicity as generated by the injection of fluids in a homogeneous, permeable medium with faults with variable proximity to rupture conditions is simulated using the rate- and state-dependent frictional fault theory (RST) of Dieterich (J Geophys

Earthquake Nucleation Characteristics Revealed by Seismicity Response to Seasonal Stress Variations Induced by Gas Production at Groningen

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Deterministic earthquake prediction remains elusive, but time‐dependent probabilistic seismicity forecasting seems within reach thanks to the development of physics‐based models relating seismicity to stress changes. Difficulties include constraining the

What’s Shakin’? Ladra v. New Dominion, LLC: A Case of Consequence for the Hydraulic Fracturing Industry and Those Affected by Induced Seismicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This analysis is accompanied by a study of a 2015 ruling of the Supreme Court of Oklahoma, Ladra v. New Dominion, LLC. The case considered the possibility of a private tort action by homeowners against the operators of injection wells proceeding within ...

Static behaviour of induced seismicity [PDF]

open access: yesNonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2016
The standard paradigm to describe seismicity induced by fluid injection is to apply non-linear diffusion dynamics in a poroelastic medium. I show that the spatio-temporal behaviour and rate evolution of induced seismicity can, instead, be expressed by ...
