Recommendations for minimising seismic risks and mitigation measures for induced seismicity in shale gas

Publication with scientific recommendations for minimizing seismic risks and optimum mitigation measures for induced seismicity associated with shale gas operations in Europe. Aim: Public dissemination of scientific recommendations on minimizing seismic risks from review of best practices, experiments and modelling. Scope: Integration of reviews (mainly U.S.A. and Canada) and research into scientific recommendations for minimizing seismic risks provides guidelines for different stakeholders in shale gas activities, and aids discussions on proper technical criteria for licenses to operate.
