From: The surge of earthquakes in Central Oklahoma has features of reservoir-induced seismicity
Seismicity Rates for observed and synthetic events. An important feature of earthquakes induced in Oklahoma is the seismicity rate. Using the whole catalogue for the study area Central Oklahoma (COH)29, the event number started to increase in 2013 and decayed in early 2016. Calculated synthetic rates for 100 realisations of C(z) (grey lines) resolves the observed temporal behaviour (the mean is marked by the bold black line) and thus, should be considered as suitable for predictions on the seismic response to varying injection rates.
