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 …

Disasters kill, maim, and generate increasingly large economic losses. But they do not
wreak their damage equally across populations, and every disaster has social dimensions at …

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 …

Resonant metamaterials have been proposed to reflect or redirect elastic waves at different
length scales, ranging from thermal vibrations to seismic excitation. However, for seismic …

Exploiting geological variation and timing in the initiation of hydraulic fracturing, we find that
fracking leads to sharp increases in oil and gas recovery and improvements in a wide set of …

Large earthquakes within stable continental regions (SCR) show that significant amounts of
elastic strain can be released on geological structures far from plate boundary faults, where …

Abstract The 3 September 2016, Mw 5.8 Pawnee earthquake was the largest recorded
earthquake in the state of Oklahoma. Seismic and geodetic observations of the Pawnee …

Much of Oklahoma and southern Kansas has seen widespread seismic activity in the last
decade that is attributed to large‐scale wastewater disposal into the Arbuckle group. Using a …

Abstract Currently,> 95% of end disposal of hydraulic fracturing wastewater from
unconventional oil and gas operations in the US occurs via injection wells. Key data gaps …

Injection of CO2 for geologic carbon sequestration into deep sedimentary formations
involves fluid pressure increases that engage hydromechanical processes that can cause …
