Earth sciences: Managing earthquakes triggered by oil production | Nature


Research Press Release
Nature
July 29, 2021
The development, testing and implementation of a method for managing earthquakes triggered by human activities is reported in
Nature this week. The method was shown to manage triggered seismicity associated with the injection of waste water in the seismically active Val d’Agri oil field, Italy.
Concern over seismicity (frequency, intensity and distribution of earthquakes) induced by human activities such as mining, water extraction or the injection of water into subsurface reservoirs has been growing in recent years. However, there is a lack of understanding as to how such earthquakes can be best managed.
Bradford Hager and colleagues created a model using detailed subsurface information about the Val d’Agri oil field, the largest onshore oil field in western Europe, situated in an area of ongoing tectonic activity. They calibrated their model with records of hydrocarbon extraction and water injection rat ....
