We review the distribution, timing and probable causes of∼ 8000 onshore UK seismic
events between the years 1970–2012. Of 1769 onshore seismic events with local …

Physical and chemical fluid–rock interactions are implicated in controlling earthquake
nucleation and recurrence. In particular, interseismic compaction, sealing and healing of …

A high-rate injection of 20 000 m3 of water into granite between 2.8 and 3.4 km depth at the
Soultz hot dry rock (HDR) test site in France in 1993 September led to a 200-fold increase in …

Seismicity at a gas reservoir located in the relatively stable Sichuan Basin, China, mirrors
the injection pressure of unwanted water, suggesting that the seismicity is injection induced …

We consider various cases of seismicity, induced by artificial fluid injections in boreholes.
Like many other authors, we support the hypothesis that to a large extent the triggering of …

With the beginning of the new century, the European EGS Project got into its decisive state
by reaching the final reservoir depth of 5km. The three boreholes, GPK2, GPK3 and GPK4 …

Fluid transport in the earth's crust is either extremely rapid, or extremely slow. Cracks, dikes
and joints represent the former while tight crystalline rocks and impermeable fault …

Fluid perturbations play a pivotal role in triggering earthquakes. However, the role of fluid in
the coseismic rupture process remains largely unknown. To this end, we develop a 2‐D fully …

Propagation of production-and injection-induced stresses from reservoir layers to basement
faults is not well understood, especially in reservoirs with hydraulically segregated …

We have developed a model to simulate the formation and evolution of hydraulic fractures.
The model relies on a discrete spring network representation of the fracturing media and a …
