ABSTRACT The Midland Basin is experiencing elevated rates of seismicity linked to oil-field
wastewater disposal. Until recently, our understanding of subsurface faulting was limited to …

The stress field controls patterns of crustal deformation, including which faults are likeliest to
cause earthquakes or transmit fluids. Since the 1950s, maps of maximum horizontal stress …

We demonstrate that pore pressure and stress changes resulting from several decades of oil
and gas production significantly affect the likelihood of injection-related induced seismicity …

We present here a straightforward empirical correlation between petroleum occurrence in
sedimentary basins and reservoir temperature that can be integrated with other methods of …

Structural fractures in carbonate reservoirs contribute prominently to hydrocarbon migration
and accumulation. In this paper, the accuracy of structural fracture prediction is improved by …

Abstract Knowledge of subsurface stresses is critical to management and prediction of fluid
behaviour in the Earth's crust. However, uncertainties associated with the estimation of …

Abstract The Delaware Basin of Texas and New Mexico is experiencing elevated levels of
seismicity. There have been more than 130 earthquakes with local magnitudes of at least …

There is a well‐known occurrence of felt seismicity and smaller seismic events in areas
where hydraulic fracturing (HF) operations occur. The Eagle Ford shale play of south‐central …

Abstract The Delaware Basin in West Texas and Southeast New Mexico has experienced a
proliferation in seismic activity since 2016. The seismic activity is primarily due to subsurface …

Abstract The M 4.2 2020 December Stanton, TX seismicity sequence marks the first of
several M 4+ seismicity sequences in the Midland Basin. In this study, we investigate its …
