Relationships between induced seismicity and fluid injection

摘要

In a recently completed research project, the University of Texas at Austin conducted two-year surveys of earthquake activity in the Fort Worth basin of Texas, the Eagle Ford shale of Texas, the Bakken shale/Williston basin of North Dakota and Montana, and the Haynesville shale of Texas and Louisiana. The studies were conducted under the Research Project to Secure Energy for America (RPSEA), with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory.
