Abstract
The paper describes applying a coupled hydraulic-mechanical model and the resulting seismicity catalogue to explore repeated fault activation and seismicity patterns associated with multi-stage hydraulic fracturing. The model is also used to explore seismic risk mitigation by changing the viscosity of the fracturing fluid.
