- The 2012 Brawley swarm triggered by injection-induced aseismic slip (2015, background): “, 2012), CO2 storage (Zoback and Gorelick, 2012), or injection of waste waters associated with hydraulic fracking (Ellsworth, 2013).”
- Fault Reactivation by Fluid Injection: Controls From Stress State and Injection Rate (2018, background): “i et al., 1987; Cornet et al., 1997], as well as deep uid injection for geological storage [Healy et al., 1968; Raleigh et al., 1976; Zoback and Harjes, 1997] induced a strong increase in seismicity [Ellsworth, 2013]. One of the strongest evidence for injection-induced seismicity is the recent rise ”
- Fluid‐faulting evolution in high definition: Connecting fault structure and frequency‐magnitude variations during the 2014 Long Valley Caldera, California, earthquake swarm (2016, background): “Pore fluid pressure increases can be natural in origin [e.g., Parotidis et al., 2003; Hill, 2006], though, increasingly, examples are seen related to industrial fluid injection [e.g., Healy et al., 1968; Horton, 2012; Frohlich, 2012; Ellsworth, 2013; Huang and Beroza, 2015; Benz et al., 2015].”
- The Economics of Shale Gas Development (2015, background): “18 Water inputs in hydraulic fracturing vary with geology, the amount of recoverable gas, number and length of horizontal wellbores, and other factors (e.g., wells in the northeastern U.S. require 2 to 4 million gallons of water per well (Veil 2010) and wells in Texas and Oklahoma require 5 million ”
- The Environmental Costs and Benefits of Fracking (2014, background): “This increased pressure allows the elastic energy stored in rock to be released more easily, much like removing weight from a box makes it easier to slide along the floor (103, 104).”
