What is it about?
The injection induced seismicity has become fairly widespread, and we should expect further intensification of this problem in connection with the development of oil production and geothermal activity. The problem of numerical simulation of seismicity induced by fluid injection into the subsurface is considered.

Why is it important?
One of the important factors determining the tectonic fault sliding due to injection is the type of the friction law acting on the faults. By numerical analysis in comparison with the results of laboratory experiments, it is shown that the two-parameter form of the rate-and-state friction law allows us to describe the widest range of observed sliding modes.
