Post-injection normal closure of fractures as a mechanism for induced seismicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Understanding the controlling mechanisms underlying injection-induced seismicity is important for optimizing reservoir productivity and addressing seismicity-related concerns related to hydraulic stimulation in Enhanced Geothermal Systems.

Fault reactivation by fluid injection: Controls from stress state and injection rate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We studied the influence of stress state and fluid injection rate on the reactivation of faults. We conducted experiments on a saw-cut Westerly granite sample under triaxial stress conditions.

Short-term forecasting of M max during hydraulic fracturing

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Previous studies of injection-induced earthquake sequences have shown that the maximum magnitude (M max ) of injection-induced seismicity increases with the net injected volume (V); however, different proposed seismic-hazard paradigms predict ...

A Probabilistic Approach to Injection‐Induced Seismicity Assessment in the Presence and Absence of Flow Boundaries

open access: yesGeophysical 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.

Seismic Response to Injection Well Stimulation in a High-Temperature, High-Permeability Reservoir [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Fluid injection into the Earth's crust can induce seismic events that cause damage to local infrastructure but also offer valuable insight into seismogenesis.

Is Earthquake Triggering Driven by Small Earthquakes? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Using a catalog of seismicity for Southern California, we measure how the number of triggered earthquakes increases with the earthquake magnitude. The trade-off between this relation and the distribution of earthquake magnitudes controls the relative ...

Induced Seismicity Completeness Analysis for Improved Data Mining

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The study of induced seismicity at sites of fluid injection is paramount to assess the seismic response of the earth’s crust and to mitigate the potential seismic risk. However statistical analysis is limited to events above the completeness magnitude mc,

Sensitivity to lunar cycles prior to the 2007 eruption of Ruapehu volcano [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A long-standing question in Earth Science is the extent to which seismic and volcanic activity can be regulated by tidal stresses, a repeatable and predictable external excitation induced by the Moon-Sun gravitational force.

Soil Fatigue from Induced Seismicity

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2020
Induced seismicity and the effects on civil engineering systems are not completely understood and infrequently studied. One specific area that is not well known is soil fatigue which includes factors such as understanding the natural conditions of the ...
