Fluid Injection Wells Can Have a Wide Seismic Reach

Fluid Injection Wells Can Have a Wide Seismic Reach - Eos

Recent studies show that fluid injection wells like this one can affect seismic activity far from the injection site.

High-volume fluid injection can cumulatively increase underground pore pressure and induce earthquakes in regions unexpectedly far from injection wells, recent Kansas studies show.
