This Oil and Gas Induced seismicity course refers to earthquakes (in most cases, minor earthquakes) that are the result of human enterprise. Human activities such as geothermal energy access, wastewater injection, well stimulation, carbon storage and other projects all must be well designed and monitored to avoid induced seismicity. This lesson covers foundational topics such as faults and folds, seismic waves, earthquake measurement techniques, a brief history of natural earthquakes, and the geomechanics of fluid injection. A case study explains how these fundamental concepts are applied to understanding, mitigating and preventing induced seismicity in the oil and gas industry.
