Most of the seismicity in the Los Angeles Basin (LA Basin) occurs at depth below the sediments and is caused by transpressional tectonics related to the big bend in the San Andreas fault. However, some of the seismicity could be associated with fluid extraction or injection in oil fields that have been in production for almost a century and cover ~ 17% of the basin. In a recent study, first the...

Identifying individual subsurface faults in a larger fault system is important to characterize and understand the relationship between microseismicity and subsurface processes. This information can potentially help drive reservoir management and mitigate the risks of natural or induced seismicity. We have evaluated a method of statistically clustering power spectra from microseismic events asso...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to investigate the possible protective qualities of resveratrol (RSV) against the side effects of risperidone (RIS) in an experimental model in rat kidneys with histologic and biochemical assessments. MATERIALS AND METHODS Experimental procedures were performed on 35 female Sprague Dawley rats. Rats were randomly divided into five groups: control, untreated ...

Reservoir-triggered seismicity has been observed near dams during construction, impoundment, and cyclic filling in many parts of the earth. In Turkey, number increased substantially over last decade, with Atatürk Dam being largest dam Turkey a total water capacity 48.7 billion m 3 . After construction dam, monitoring network improved. Considering earthquakes above long-term completeness magnitu...

We investigate the physical mechanisms governing activation of faults during hydraulic fracturing. Recent studies have debated varying importance different fault reactivation in settings. Pore pressure increase caused by injection is generally considered to be primary driver induced seismicity. However, very tight reservoir rocks, unless a fracture network exists act as conduit, rate diffusion ...

Widespread seismicity was triggered by the June 28, 1992, Landers California, earthquake at a rate which was maximum immediately after passage of the exciting seismic waves. Rectified diffusion of vapor from hydrothermal liquids and magma into bubbles oscillating in an earthquake can increase the local pore pressure to seismically significant levels within the duration of the earthquake. In a h...
