A relationship between the two has already been established in a number of locations, including Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Canada, England, and China. This study looks at Arkansas, which has not been the focus of prior research. This project analyzed a […]
B33: Factors Controlling Hydraulic Fracture Induced Seismicity in Ohio
Induced seismicity in Eastern Ohio has been ongoing for the past several years, much of which is attributed directly to hydraulic fracturing (HF) wells. To help parse which factors influence the generation of earthquakes in the region we gathered public well data for the HF wells in Harrison, Monroe, and Noble county. This dataset allowed […]
