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

Frontiers 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.

Seismic Diffusivity and the Influence of Heterogeneity on Injection‐Induced Seismicity
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2021 Abstract The spatiotemporal patterns of injection‐induced seismicity (IIS) are commonly interpreted with the concept of a triggering front, which propagates in a diffusion‐like manner with an associated diffusivity parameter. Here, we refer to this diffusivity as the “seismic diffusivity.” Several previous studies implicitly assume ...

Induced Seismicity Reduces Seismic Hazard? [PDF]
Geophysical 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 ...

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

Deep Well Injection Induced Seismicity
Civil 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.

Geophysical 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

Geophysical Research Letters, 2018 Induced seismicity models that do not account for the effects of flow boundary conditions and uncertainty in initial stresses on the seismicity rate fail to predict the seismicity observed in real‐world injection sites.

Regional variations in the diffusion of triggered seismicity [PDF]
, 2005 We determine the spatiotemporal characteristics of interearthquake triggering in the International Seismological Centre catalogue on regional and global scales. We pose a null hypothesis of spatially clustered, temporally random seismicity, and determine
