A simplified model for hydraulic fracturing and its role in seismicity

In this study we propose a simple mathematical model to evaluate the seismic energy (magnitude) generated by the injection of a pressurized liquid in a geothermal area. The aim is to distinguish between induced and triggered seismicity. We compute the induced seismicity by a simple equation that all...
