Abstract
The Fort Worth Basin of north-central Texas is a prolific petroleum basin that is increasingly seismically active, with over 125 earthquakes of magnitude Mw ≥2.5 since 2006, impacting the Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area and surrounding communities. These earthquakes have been attributed to increased pore fluid pressure from wastewater injection and from cross-fault pore pressure imbalance caused by injection and production.
