Poroelastic modeling of hydraulic fracturing induced earthquake stress field / S. Larochelle, Y. Liu, and H. Kao.M183-2/8028E-PDF

"In this study, poroelasticity is implemented in a numerical model of the problem at stake by using the finite-difference software FLAC3D (ITASCA, 2011) supported by the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) Induced Seismicity Research Project. Given a fixed injection source near a pre-existing fault, this preliminary model simulates slip as well as stresses and pore pressure evolution in the vicinity of the fault. The model is informed by hydraulic fracturing induced seismic events of the Crooked Lake Sequences in Western Canada (Schultz et al., 2015). The present report is part of a larger research initiative which aims to quantify aseismic and seismic fault slip induced by fluid injections associated with hydraulic fracturing operations (Liu et al., 2015)"--page 4.
