Abstract

The seismicity rate in Oklahoma in the last 5-8 years is correlated to increased large-scale hydrocarbon production. Contrary to Oklahoma, analysis of oil and gas production versus seismicity rates in 6 other States in the USA and 3 provinces in Canada finds no State/Province-wide correlation between increased seismicity and hydrocarbon production, despite 8-16 fold increases in production in some States, including North Dakota (Bakken formation) and Pennsylvania, West Virginia (Marcellus shale). However, in various areas, seismicity rates have increased locally.
