Artificial fracturing is required to increase the effective porosity of ... organic-rich shales and release the tightly held methane. ... Both the porosity and the permeability of [the tight sands] formations are low so that hydraulic or explosive fracturing techniques must be employed to recover the gas. 2, record 1, English, - artificial%20fracturing

La sismicité est dite induite lorsque l'activité humaine produit un mouvement sur une faille dormante. Elle peut être due au retrait de matériaux au cours de l'exploitation minière par exemple, ou bien liée à l'addition de fluide qui vont lubrifier une zone de failles dans le cas de la fracturation hydraulique. 1, record 2, French, - sismicit%C3%A9%20induite
