Injection‐Related Hazards in the Permian Basin as Characterized by Spaceborne InSAR and In Situ Measurements Open
Wastewater injection in Texas has led to leakage at compromised wells and anomalous seismicity. We use Sentinel‐1 Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) surface deformation maps and a suite of ground measurements to characterize …

Foreshocks, aftershocks, and static stress triggering of the 2020 Mw 4.8 Mentone Earthquake in west Texas Open
Foreshocks are the most obvious signature of the earthquake nucleation stage and could, in principle, forewarn of an impending earthquake. However, foreshocks are only sometimes observed, and we have a limited understanding of the physics …

Hydraulic Fracturing, Fault System Architecture, and the Details of Anthropogenic Earthquakes in the Post-Pennsylvanian Delaware Basin of West Texas Open
Since about 2009, oil and gas production activities in the Delaware Basin of West Texas and southeast New Mexico have caused a rapid increase in rates of seismicity. This seismicity has been driven primarily by pore fluid pressure increase…

Role of Deep Fluid Injection in Induced Seismicity in the Delaware Basin, West Texas and Southeast New Mexico Open
Rates of seismicity in the Delaware Basin of Texas and New Mexico increased from 10 earthquakes per year of local magnitude ( M L ) 3.0 and above in 2017 to more than 185 in 2022, coincident with increasing oil and gas production and waste…

Frictional and poromechanical properties of the Delaware Mountain Group: Insights into induced seismicity in the Delaware Basin Open
The Delaware Basin in West Texas and Southeast New Mexico has experienced a proliferation in seismic activity since 2016. The seismic activity is primarily due to subsurface injection of wastewater into shallow and deep reservoirs. However…

The TexNet-CISR collaboration and steps toward understanding induced seismicity in Texas Open
Diverse seismicity-prone geologic systems are located in Texas, USA. These systems include areas of tectonically natural earthquakes and areas with induced seismicity stemming from multiple factors. Some systems are geologically and operat…

Onset and Cause of Increased Seismic Activity Near Pecos, West Texas, United States, From Observations at the Lajitas TXAR Seismic Array Open
In recent years, numerous small earthquakes have occurred near the town of Pecos in West Texas; however, when this activity began and whether it was caused by increased petroleum industry activity has been uncertain because prior to 2017 t…
