Pore pressure diffusion led to microseismicity at Illinois basin carbon sequestration site
Pore pressure diffusion generated by carbon dioxide injected underground at a carbon storage site in the Illinois Basin is the likely cause of hundreds of microearthquakes that took place at the site between 2011 and 2012, according to a new analysis. The modeling study published in the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America indicates … Read more
