We will discuss observation and theory of induced or triggered seismicity by fluid injections. Case studies will focus on publicly known information on seismicity in the vicinity of the geothermal, shale gas and salt water disposal injections; special attention will be spent on two end-members: Blackpool earthquakes of 2011 and Dallas-Fort Worth earthquakes of 2008-2012. Methodology of monitoring, mitigation and hazard assessment will be outlined for both practicing geophysicists as well as management of operating companies. Finally, the course will provide insight on recognizing the natural and man-induced seismicity, and optimal ways of monitoring and mitigating the hazards associated with induced or triggered seismicity.

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) was an organic development in the production of hydrocarbons. The initial experiments, initially accidental, with water flooding led to common oilfield technologies to increase oil production. As these petroleum engineering methods became more complex, other materials and schemes, such as water alternating gas including super critical CO2 (scCO2) were used to enhance hydrocarbon production in mature oil fields. In this course, topics relevant to the utilization of CO2 to enhance oil recovery are presented. CO2 is an especially appealing EOR injection agent because if has a super critical phase. In this SEG virtual course, the basic physics relevant to CO2 are presented, including the description of gas, liquid and super critical phases (scCO2). EOR-scCO2 sites will be reviewed with respect to monitoring technologies.
