报告内容简介：The earthquake rates have been dramatically increasing since 2009 in central United States. Many previous studies suggest that these earthquakes are induced due to oil/gas exploration. In Oklahoma, the wastewater from oil exploration is injected into a deep Arbuckle Formation, which is the layer predominately located above the Precambrian basement. The injection causes increase in pore pressure, promotes fault slip, causing earthquakes. However, in addition to pore pressure increase, new evidence suggests that we need to consider other triggering mechanisms. In this report, we will focus on interpretations for some new observational results. First, there exist strong spatial-temporal correlation between injection and earthquake activities, as well as relationship between injection volume and earthquake magnitudes, which only emerges at larger scales (e.g., > 30 km). Second, we find the earthquakes exhibit strong spatial migration pattern, which can be well explained with pore pressure diffusion. The diffusion model has two different spatial scales, a large-scale migration representing diffusion within the injection layer with higher permeability, and small-scale migration representation diffusion along a single fault system in the basement. Last, we find that in addition to pore pressure diffusion, there exist multiple other triggering mechanisms. In western Oklahoma, we find coupled poro-elastic response exceeds pore pressure increase. For the M5.8 Pawnee earthquake, small foreshock activities cause increase in Coulomb stress at the mainshock hypocenter, suggesting that small earthquakes can lead to triggering of mainshocks.
