Geoscience BC energy research project has established a closely spaced network of seismographs in the Kiskatinaw area of British Columbia’s Northeast Region to help understand in more detail how and why, in certain circumstances, earthquakes can be caused by hydraulic fracturing and wastewater disposal during natural gas development. In 2020, the project installed and monitored a dense network of 15 seismographs – highly sensitive instruments that record seismic waves – in the Kiskatinaw Seismic Monitoring and Mitigation Area (KSMMA) northwest of Dawson Creek. Initial data collected by the network will inform regulatory practice and guide continuous improvement of BC’s natural gas sector. https://bit.ly/3iN0JVq #UCalgary University of Calgary David Eaton Pic shows Rebecca Salvage hard at work on the project
