In 2022, the RRC established the Northern Culberson-Reeves Seismic Response Area to address wastewater-injection-induced seismicity in the region. While it has sent inspectors in response to ...
This study should build on the information already existing on this subject from a variety of sources, including recent workshops focused on induced seismicity. The study will focus on areas of ...
This is known as geothermal-technology-induced seismicity. A team of scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) has developed a model that can help to predict the risk of ...
Researchers at a field site in Victoria, Australia are among the first to use fiber optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) for high-precision tracking of induced seismicity from a small carbon ...
This is one of three SRAs in West Texas that the RRC has created to address injection-induced seismic activity from disposal wells. In December, the RRC indefinitely suspended deep disposal in the ...
Quakes under magnitude 3 are rarely felt. What's happening at Lake Monticello is called "reservoir-induced seismicity." This phenomenon happens at relatively few reservoirs around the world ...
As industrial projects have expanded, and new technologies become available, we have seen a sharp rise in both the frequency and scale of human-induced earthquakes. Whilst this provides an ...
This injection-induced seismicity (IIS) generally occurs in fractured and faulted crystalline basement rock; migrates away from the well according to a nonlinear diffusion process; and is a function ...

Within this study, we administered and analyzed a household survey to understand what sources individuals view as credible regarding induced seismicity and oil and gas development, and what factors ...
"There's a commonly held belief that this is the only cause of induced seismicity," says Barnaby Fryer, a doctoral assistant at the LMS and the paper's lead author. "But it's not that straightforward.
