Injection Related Induced Seismicity and its relevance to Nitrogen Injection: Modelling of geomechanical effects of injection on fault stability

Pressure maintenance by injection of nitrogen into a reservoir is considered to be one of the potential options to mitigate induced seismicity during gas production. However, injection of nitrogen itself may be the cause of unwanted induced seismicity. At this stage it is unclear what seismic hazards are related to nitrogen injection.
