| Annotation: |
This report addresses the question of whether the earthquake sequence in Raton Basin is related to wastewater injection. Historical and instrumental data show that the Raton Basin had a low level of seismic activity until August 2001. These earthquakes are limited to the area of fluid injection, they occur shortly after major fluid injection activities began, and the earthquake rates track the fluid injection rates in the Raton Basin. |
