Abstract
In this presentation, I provide the results of analyzing seismic activity in the northern Montney Play of British Columbia in 2015 and its connection with fluid injection. Using an industry-provided earthquake catalog, spatial and temporal correlation of serismic activity with the fluid injection was investigated. Moreover, some depth constraints were obtained on the events close to the operations with a best-fit moment tensor solution for the largest event. Ground motion from the Mw 4.6 event clipped the seismic sensors at distances up to ~40 km from the epicenter indicating large ground motion amplitudes for an event of this size.
