文摘
- •
The mechanism of a bimodal depth distribution of induced MEQs is proposed.
- •
The abundant seismicity at shallow-depth reservoir is due to leakage from the well.
- •
The diminished seismicity in the deep open zone is associated by the fluid loss.
- •
The absence of MEQs at intermediate zone is due to velocity strengthening behavior.
