Hydraulic fracturing volume is associated with induced earthquake productivity in the Duvernay play
Abstract
A sharp increase in the frequency of earthquakes near Fox Creek, Alberta, began in December 2013 in response to hydraulic fracturing. Using a hydraulic fracturing database, we explore relationships between injection parameters and seismicity response. We show that induced earthquakes are associated with completions that used larger injection volumes (10 4 null to 10 5 null cubic meters) and that seismic productivity scales linearly with...
