Significance for secure CO2 storage of earthquakes induced by fluid injection
The link between subsurface fluid injection and induced seismicity has gained recent significance with an increase in earthquakes associated with the disposal of oilfield waste fluids. There are obvious similarities between wastewater reinjection and proposed CO _2 storage (CCS) operations. However,...
