Industrial activity away from plate boundaries can induce earthquakes and has evolved into
a global issue. Much of the induced seismicity in the United States' midcontinent is attributed …

Wastewater disposal in the central US is likely responsible for an unprecedented surge in
earthquake activity. Much of this activity is thought to be driven by induced pore pressure …

Earthquakes were induced in the Fort Worth Basin from 2008 through 2020 by increase in
pore pressure from injection of oilfield wastewater (SWD). In this region and elsewhere, a …

Recent Oklahoma seismicity shows a regional correlation with increased wastewater
injection activity, but local variations suggest that some areas are more likely to exhibit …

The seismicity rate in the Delaware Basin, located in western Texas and southeastern New
Mexico, has increased by orders of magnitude within the past~ 5 years. While no seismicity …

Since 2008, earthquake sequences within the Fort Worth basin (FWB), north Texas, have
been linked to wastewater disposal activities related to unconventional shale‐gas …

Abstract The Barnett Shale in Texas experienced an increase in seismicity since 2008,
coinciding with high‐volume deep fluid injection. Despite the spatial proximity, the lack of a …

ABSTRACT The 2016 M w 5.8 Pawnee earthquake occurred in a region with active
wastewater injection into a basal formation group. Prior to the earthquake, fluid injection …

Significant earthquakes are increasingly occurring within the continental interior of the
United States, including five of moment magnitude (M w)≥ 5.0 in 2011 alone. Concurrently …

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 …
