Seismic and aseismic motions generated by fluid injections
FH Cornet - Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment, 2016 - Elsevier
Pore pressure increase associated with the injection of fluids in rock masses often generates
some microseismicity. But pore pressure variations depend on fluid diffusion, which itself …

Superposition approach to understand triggering mechanisms of post-injection induced seismicity
Induced microseismicity is a not-so-rare consequence of fluid injection into deep geological
formations. Most seismicity occurs during injection, likely caused by overpressure. In some …
