An earthquake catalogue for seismic events in the Norman Wells region of the central Mackenzie Valley, Northwest Territories, using waveform data from local seismic stations / A.M. Farahbod, H. Kao, and...: M183-2/8825E-PDF
"The development of unconventional hydrocarbon resources in the Norman Wells region of the Central Mackenzie Valley, Northwest Territories, has been explored by the energy industry. In early 2014, Conoco-Philips Canada conducted two multi-stage test operations of hydraulic fracturing (HF) in the region. In this study, we combine seismic data from the Canadian National Seismograph Network, four new stations established by the Northwest Territories Geoscience Office in collaboration with Natural Resources Canada in the Norman Wells region, and a local dense array installed by Conoco-Philips Canada to study the seismicity distribution during the pre-HF, HF and post-HF periods"--Abstract, page 1.
