在美国中部石油和天然气生产过程中,由于废水的注入而引发了数以百计的小型地震,因此,有人将石油和天然气生产诱发的地震归因于废水注入。但是,在加拿大西部开展的研究结果表明,该地区地震是由生产过程中的水压致裂所致。2016年3月30日,《地震研究通讯》(Seismological Research Letters)刊发的文章《水压致裂与加拿大西部沉积盆地的地震活动》(Hydraulic fracturing and seismicity in the Western Canada sedimentary basin)报道了加拿大西安大略大学
Hundreds of small earthquakes triggered by the injection of wastewater during the production of oil and gas in the central United States led some to attribute oil and gas production-induced earthquakes to wastewater injection. However, research conducted in western Canada shows that the earthquake in the area was caused by hydraulic fracturing in the production process. On March 30, 2016, the article “Hydraulic fracturing and seismicity in the Western Canada sedimentary basin” by Seismological Research Letters reported that Canada University of Western Ontario
