Hydraulic 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 …

As recently as 2015, it was common in the scientific literature to find assertions that the risk
of triggering a damaging earthquake by hydraulic fracturing (HF)—an industrial process …

Models for hydraulic fracturing–induced earthquakes in shales typically ascribe fault
activation to elevated pore pressure or increased shear stress; however, these mechanisms …

This paper presents a timely and detailed study of significant injection-induced seismicity
recently observed in the Sichuan Basin, China, where shale-gas hydraulic fracturing has …

A sharp increase in the frequency of earthquakes near Fox Creek, Alberta, began in
December 2013 in response to hydraulic fracturing. Using a hydraulic fracturing database …

Geothermal energy is a green source of power that could play an important role in climate‐
conscious energy portfolios; enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) have the potential to …

This paper summarizes the current state of understanding regarding the induced seismicity
in connection with hydraulic fracturing operations targeting the Duvernay Formation in …

The basic triggering mechanism underlying induced seismicity traces back to the mid‐1960s
that relied on the process of pore‐fluid pressure diffusion. The last decade has experienced …

For tectonic earthquakes, slip rate spans a continuum from creep to supershear
earthquakes, where slow slip events (SSEs) are important in releasing stress without …

Wastewater disposal is generally accepted to be the primary cause of the increased
seismicity rate in Oklahoma within the past decade, but no statewide analysis has …
