Induced Seismicity Potential in Energy Technologies
Consensus Study Report
·2013
In the past several years, some energy technologies that inject or extract fluid from the Earth, such as oil and gas development and geothermal energy development, have been found or suspected to cause seismic events, drawing heightened public attention. Although only a very small fraction of injec...
