Induced seismicity is a common phenomenon in many fields of subsurface
exploration and has been found to be associated with i.e. hydrocarbon
exploration, geothermal exploitation, open-pit and underground mining
operations, CO2 sequestration, and filling of new water reservoirs.
Public awareness and concern of induced seismicity has become
ubiquitous in locations where subsurface exploration and storage is
carried out in close proximity to communities. Of particular concerns
are massive fluid injections for hydro-fracturing to increase subsurface
permeability as well as long-term injection for the purpose of long-term
storage. These concerns have led to regulations to passively monitor
induced seismicity and consequently to a wealth of continuous seismic
data. In contrast to the increase in data volume, the understanding of
the relationship between exploration techniques and induced seismicity
is still limited. New processing methods to analyze the data and
quantitative models to better understand the causal relationship between
exploration and induced seismicity are needed. The current session is
intended to provide a platform to present the latest research and field
studies related to induced seismicity. Topics to be presented include
temporal variations of physical parameters in reservoirs including
stress and pressure changes, spatial-temporal patterns of seismicity,
source mechanisms of micro- or larger scale seismicity, mechanisms for
triggered or induced events, and fracture-induced anisotropy.
Contributions are sought from fundamental and applied research covering
the fields of oil and gas exploration including hydro-fracturing,
geothermal exploitation particularly related to enhanced geothermal
systems, open pit and underground mining, CO2 storage and other fields
where induced seismicity is observed.
