Characterization of Induced Seismicity in a Petroleum Reservoir: A Case Study

Fluid production and injection in hydrocarbon and geothermal reservoirs generally results in induced seismic activity. In this paper we study the microseismic activity in a petroleum field in Oman. The microearthquake data we used are those collected by a five-station digital network in the field be...
