First EAGE Workshop on Induced Seismicity
Welcome to the First EAGE Workshop
on Induced Seismicity
3 - 4 March 2021, Online Event
Papers from the postponed Eighth EAGE Workshop on Passive Seismic will be included in the programme.
Workshop Overview
The mitigation of induced and triggered seismicity, as a result of energy production and industrial activities, remains a major challenge for industries, local populations and governments around the globe. Long term seismic monitoring and geomechanical and seismological studies provide an increased understanding of the rupture process and scientific insights to facilitate the control and mitigation of induced seismic events.
Workshop Aim
The First EAGE Workshop on Induced Seismicity provides an opportunity to explore the latest developments in monitoring, modelling and mitigation of induced seismicity. Over three structured days of technical talks and discussions we will seek to examine the mechanisms and dominant factors related to the occurrence of felt induced events. Following an examination of the science, we will also explore how the geomechanical, seismological and geological expertise can best guide science based regulations, technical specifications and effective mitigation strategies.
Participant's Profile
The workshop is structured to emphasize the multidisciplinary nature of understanding and responding to induced seismicity. Participants from energy operators, service companies, regulators, academia, non-governmental organizations and other experts will gather to share valuable insights which lead to a collaborative and enhanced understanding of the major challenges faced.
We encourage submissions on all theoretical and practical aspects within a wide range of geological settings and industrial applications including: geothermal, mining, construction, oil and gas production, natural gas and CO2 storage, hydraulic fracturing, and wastewater injection.
Technical Committee
This event is organized with the essential support of the technical committee members. The Technical Committee is composed of industry specialists within the event topic's area.
