Abstract

Wastewater injection in Texas has led to leakage at compromised wells and anomalous seismicity. We use Sentinel-1 Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) surface deformation maps and a suite of ground measurements to characterize injection-related hazards. In Crane County, we measure ${\sim} $ 53 cm of uplift in a 5  km 2 ${\text{km}}^{2}$ region from January 2021 to October 2023 followed by ${\sim} $ 10 cm of subsidence from November 2023 to September 2024, associated with a well blowout. In Ward County, we show that well leakage may occur in regions that experience subsidence, because production-induced subsidence can offset injection-induced uplift. In Andrews County, > ${ >} $ 10 cm/yr uplift patterns can be observed due to injection in Texas, which induced seismicity in the neighboring state, New Mexico. Near real-time InSAR observations are now regularly used to inform environmental hazards due to wastewater injection.

星载InSAR和现场测量表征的二叠纪盆地注入相关危害
德克萨斯州的废水注入导致受损井泄漏和异常地震活动。我们使用Sentinel-1干涉合成孔径雷达(InSAR)地表变形图和一套地面测量来表征注入相关的危害。在克兰县,从2021年1月到2023年10月,我们测量了在5km 2 ${\text{km}}^{2}$区域的~ ${\sim} $ 53 cm的隆起,然后测量了~ ${\sim} $从2023年11月到2024年9月,与井喷有关的下沉10厘米。在Ward县,我们发现,由于生产引起的下沉可以抵消注入引起的隆升,因此在经历沉陷的地区可能会发生油井泄漏。在安德鲁斯县,>;由于注入在德克萨斯州引起了邻近的新墨西哥州的地震活动,因此可以观察到$ 10厘米/年的隆起模式。近实时InSAR观测现在经常用于通报由于废水注入造成的环境危害。

期刊介绍: Geophysical Research Letters (GRL) publishes high-impact, innovative, and timely research on major scientific advances in all the major geoscience disciplines. Papers are communications-length articles and should have broad and immediate implications in their discipline or across the geosciences. GRLmaintains the fastest turn-around of all high-impact publications in the geosciences and works closely with authors to ensure broad visibility of top papers.
