The earthquakes in the cross-section BB' are associated with HF stimulation, while the earthquakes in CC' are suspected to be caused by long-term injection for salt mining (Lei et al., 2019b). We firstly calculated the catalog earthquake locations using a grid-search based location approach ( Tan et al., 2018a ), which determined the …
The 2019 MS6.0 Changning earthquake occurred in the tectonically stable Sichuan Basin, where the epicenter and its adjacent areas are important shale gas and salt mine production fields, resulting in hot debates on whether the seismogenic mechanism of the 2019 Changning earthquake is related to human activities. As source characteristics …

In solution mining, wells are erected over salt beds or domes (deposits of salt forced up out of the earth by tectonic pressure) and water is injected to dissolve the salt. Then the salt solution, or brine, is pumped out and taken to a plant for evaporation.
Hydraulic mining, California, 1870s. This photo shows hydraulic mining activity at the Malakoff Diggings in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada in the 1870s. Hydraulic mining was a variation on ground sluicing where the water delivered to the site would be shot through a nozzle at high pressure onto the face of the cliff, thereby washing away ...

Earthquakes around the salt mining well were found to occur in sedimentary cover, indicating that the basement fault has not been activated but rather acts as a fluid-flowing path. In the Changning shale gas block, earthquakes showed different triggering mechanisms, accompanied by different velocity characteristics.
Enhanced 3D velocity structure, seismicity relocation and basement characterization of Changning shale gas and salt mining regions in southern Sichuan basin. ... Lei et al., 2020), including waste water disposal in midcontinental United States, shale gas hydraulic fracturing in western Canada, and shale gas development in …
In June 2019, an earthquake sequence comprising five M > 5 events occurred in a region of southwest China with fluid injection for both hydraulic fracturing and salt mining, which raised an extensive controversy on the cause. Here we use interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) observations to determine the source …
Conference: Hydraulic fracturing in salt and potash formations ... development programs have been conducted for the past several years to devise techniques for the economical solution mining of potash from the deeper areas of the large Canadian potash deposit. Economic considerations indicate that mining procedures utilizing wells connected by ...
Solution mining is a mining method of dissolving and extracting minerals by injecting fresh water into underground deposits and taking advantage of the …
