Did waste-water disposal drive the longest seismic swarm triggered by fluid manipulations ? Lacq, France, 1969-2016.

waste water injection and seismicity

in press BSSA 2021-
• We highlight the role of wastewater disposal on seismicity in a context of gas reservoir depletion.
• The interrelation between injection and extraction is the most probable cause of the Lacq seismicity.
• The Lacq volume–magnitude pair is in the same range (90% confidence level) than pairs reported worldwide.
