Description:
Mitigation of induced and triggered seismicity, caused by a broad range of industrial activities and felt by local population, is of increasing interest worldwide. Regulators may stipulate long term monitoring of seismicity to gain insight in the parameters that are of importance to the earthquake rupture process. This leads to a large volume of continuous seismic data and many detailed geomechanical and/or seismological studies. The workshop is intended to discuss developments in monitoring, modelling, and mitigation, covering a broad range of applications, including gas production and storage, geothermal projects, hydraulic fracturing treatments, salt-water disposal and mining projects.
Topics and addressed questions:
Researchers at universities, governmental or semi-public research institutions, regulators, industry professionals including operators and service providers.
