Journal ArticleDOI

The Environmental Costs and Benefits of Fracking

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the switch from coal to natural gas for electricity generation will reduce sulfur, nitrogen, mercury, and particulate air pollution, but the question of whether natural gas will displace coal compared with renewables is open.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oil and gas wells and their integrity : implications for shale and unconventional resource exploitation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess all the reliable datasets (25) on well barrier and integrity failure in the published literature and online, including production, injection, idle and abandoned wells, both onshore and offshore, exploiting both conventional and unconventional reservoirs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global review of human-induced earthquakes

TL;DR: The Human-Induced Earthquake Database (HiQuake) as discussed by the authors is a comprehensive record of earthquake sequences postulated to be induced by anthropogenic activity, spanning the period 1868-2016.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induced seismicity and hydraulic fracturing for the recovery of hydrocarbons

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compile published examples of induced earthquakes that have occurred since 1929 that have magnitudes equal to or greater than 1.0 and propose that this could occur by three mechanisms: hydraulic fluid or displaced pore fluid could enter the fault.
