Bilinear Magnitude‐Frequency Distributions and Characteristic Earthquakes During Hydraulic Fracturing

Abstract Previous studies show that a temporal drop in the b value (slope) of magnitude‐frequency distributions observed during hydraulic‐fracturing operations could signify the activation of a preexisting fault system. Based on a new data set from Alberta, Canada, we provide a case study wherein ev...
