Which risk increases in a hydraulic fracturing operation when fluid injection exceeds the formation's capacity to dissipate pressure?

💡 Explanation

Induced seismicity can occur when the rate of fluid injection surpasses the natural capacity for fluid dissipation because the increase in pore pressure triggers **fracture propagation**, eventually causing slippage across pre-existing faults; therefore, seismic events are linked to pressure dissipation rather than alternative fluid dynamics that could redistribute proppant or alter well effectiveness.
