Researchers report that the roughness of pre-existing faults and associated stress heterogeneity in geological reservoirs play a key role for causing human-made earthquakes, so-called runaway events.

The first up-close look at artificially triggered tremors suggests seismicity caused by human activities starts slow before shaking things up. The finding could help scientists better understand, and ...

Earthquakes triggered by fluids injected deep underground, such as during the controversial practice of fracking, may be more common than previously thought, a new study suggests. Fluid injections ...

Westbury, New York ─ Alerton International has introduced the SafetyBlu™ SB-450 Blue Light Inspection Kit, featuring a portable, high-intensity blue light (450 nm) LED flashlight. Used in conjunction ...

Geoscientists have found that shallow wastewater injection -- not deep wastewater injections -- can drive widespread deep earthquake activity in unconventional oil and gas production fields. In a ...

Faults can creep due to fluid injection, triggering earthquakes. Usually small though occasionally damaging earthquakes are a side-effect of industrial processes such as geothermal energy and oil-gas ...

Trexel Inc. (Wilmington, MA), the developer of MuCell microcellular injection molding technology, announced the global introduction of the company’s newly developed T-400 series SCF (Super Critical ...
