#Past work
Microseismicity has been observed at Rotokawa since the start of deep injection in 2005 \cite{Sherburn_2015} and at Ngatamariki since injection operations began in 2012 \cite{Sherburn&Bourguignon_2013}.
At Rotokawa, the largest portion of microseismiciy since 2012 has been located in the southeast portion Some of
this activity is accounted for by background, natural seismicity associated with the
field as discussed in \cite{Sherburn_2015}, geothermal fields' location within the
polygon shown in \ref{Figure1}. Much tectonically dynamic TVZ. However, a much larger part of
this seismicity the microseismicity at Ngatamariki and Rotokawa is
likely related due to
changes in the
Central Field Fault which divides the injection reservoir associated with deep fluid injection. Critically stressed and
production areas at Rotokawa favourably oriented fractures within and
acts as a barrier adjacent to
cross-strike movement the geothermal resource can be activated by both pressure changes induced by power plant operations as well as thermal contraction of
the hot reservoir
fluids rocks as the cooler condensate and brine is injected \cite{Sherburn_2015}.
At
Ngatamariki, two very distinct, clusters of microseismicity are observed, one in Rotokawa, the
North largest portion of
the field and one further south \cite{Sherburn&Bourguignon_2013} \cite{Sherburn&Bourguignon_2014} \cite{Sherburn&Bourguignon_2015}. The northern cluster microseismiciy since 2012 has been
observed in the northern injection area surrounding wells NM8 and NM9 at a between 1.5 and 2.5 km below sea level whereas the southern cluster is generally located
between the injection area associated with NM10 and NM6 and in the
production area for southeast portion of the field
surrounding NM5 \cite{Sherburn&Bourguignon_2015}. This as discussed in \cite{Sherburn_2015}, within the polygon shown in \ref{Figure2}. Much of this seismicity is likely
associated with a structure related to the
Aratiatia Central Field Fault
Zone which
strikes SW-NE accross divides the
southern end of the Ngatamariki field injection and production areas at Rotokawa and acts as
has been modeled by \cite{buscarlet2015reservoir}. Events have been observed in roughly equal numbers in both clusters \cite{Sherburn&Bourguignon_2013}. a barrier to cross-strike movement of reservoir fluids \cite{Sherburn_2015}.
1. Rotokawa
* Locations normally At Ngatamariki, two very distinct, clusters of microseismicity are observed, one in the North of the field and one further south \cite{Sherburn&Bourguignon_2013} \cite{Sherburn&Bourguignon_2014} \cite{Sherburn&Bourguignon_2015}. The northern cluster
has been observed in the
northern injection area surrounding wells NM8 and NM9 at a between 1.5 and 2.5 km below sea level whereas the southern cluster is generally located between the injection area associated with NM10 and NM6 and the production area
within for the field surrounding NM5 \cite{Sherburn&Bourguignon_2015}. This is likely associated with a structure related to the Aratiatia Fault Zone which strikes SW-NE accross the
'RK04, RK05, RK20' triangle southern end of the Ngatamariki field as has been modeled by \cite{buscarlet2015reservoir}. Events have been observed in roughly equal numbers in both clusters \cite{Sherburn&Bourguignon_2013}.
