研究将萨里地震与附近的石油开采联系起来,突出了此类活动的风险。 Study links Surrey earthquakes to nearby oil extraction, highlighting risks of such activities.

一项UCL研究将2018年至2019年在萨里发生的100多起小型地震(造成房屋损坏)与附近的马山油井的石油开采联系起来。 A UCL study links over 100 minor earthquakes in Surrey from 2018 to 2019, which caused home damage, to oil extraction at the nearby Horse Hill well. 研究人员利用模拟发现,石油开采活动与地震事件之间有相互关系,这表明开采过程中的压力变化和岩石移动可能引发地震。 Using simulations, researchers found a correlation between oil extraction activities and the seismic events, suggesting that pressure changes and rock movements during extraction likely triggered the earthquakes. 本研究报告强调,在石油开采开始预防损害之前,必须监测地震活动。 This study highlights the need for monitoring seismic activity before oil extraction begins to prevent damage.
