Injection-Induced Seismicity [Poster]
Date: 4/26/2019
Room: Fifth Avenue
Induced seismicity related to oil and gas production has been a growing concern in the last few years. Although the majority of wastewater disposal and hydraulic fracturing operations do not generate seismicity or large magnitude events, there have been few reports of damaging earthquakes in North America, resulting in some damages to infrastructure and other properties. This led to an increased demand for appropriate risk assessment and management of induced seismicity and the development of effective risk mitigation strategies. Injection-induced seismicity and associated risk and hazard have been the subject of many studies and research. However, there are still many questions to answer. In this session, we welcome contributions on geomechanics, numerical modelings, case studies, induced seismicity forecasting and risk assessment techniques, estimating ground motions, assessing liquefaction, lateral spreading, site amplification and infrastructure damage.
