The Spotlight Series is a technology transfer initiative of the Ground Water Research & Education Foundation focusing on current and emerging issues associated with groundwater management and protection.
Induced Seismicity:
The GWREF has sponsored special events for seismologists, regulators, and other stakeholders with the focus of assessing and managing risks of induced seismicity associated with underground injection. As part of that effort, we convened a 40+ member workgroup to develop and release a report in Fall 2015 entitled, “Induced Seismicity by Injection Associated with Oil & Gas Development: A Primer on Technical & Regulatory Considerations Informing Risk Management and Mitigation.”
Annual UIC Conference:
The GWREF is a major sponsor of GWPC’s annual UIC Conference. The conference focuses on multiple UIC topics from both a technical and regulatory perspective.
Water Energy Sustainability Symposia:
For the past several years, beginning in Salt Lake City then Pittsburgh, Atlanta, and Nashville, the GWREF has been a major contributor toward multi-day, multi-stakeholder water and energy events.
Stray Gas Incidence & Response:
In Columbus, Ohio, (2012) and Dallas, Texas, (2013) the GWREF sponsored short courses for natural gas producers, researchers, regulators, emergency responders, consultants and other stakeholders striving to improve investigation processes and responses to stray gas incidences.
