Induced Seismicity
Reducing the Potential for Induced Seismicity During Hydraulic Fracturing – With N2 and CO2 Based Foamed Fluids A Ferus and Itasca – Image Joint Project – September 2016 Causes of Induced Seismicity During Hydraulic Fracturing (HF) Seismicity has been linked to: High injection rates and pressures High volume water fracs (incompressible fluid) Slickwater tends to migrate many thousands of meters from the well, intersecting with faults, lubricating the fault to slip Ferus’ Hypo
