Oklahoma insurance commission is on the ball. But ultimately the gas companies should reimburse for damage and decide if it's worth it.
Blue dots are the wells.And the small dots are the wells?
For those interested you can view a map of registered wastewater injection wells as well as earthquakes here:
http://earthquakes.ok.gov/what-we-know/earthquake-map/
If you toggle on a year or more of earthquakes you have to give it a few seconds to add that earthquake layer.
Over on the right bottom you can toggle on the wastewater injection well layer.
If you zoom in it looks like this:

The quake on the left is today's quake and the one on the right is from 2 days ago.
Class II UIC wells are used for two basic purposes in the oil and gas sector, enhanced oil recovery injection (i.e., EORI or 2R)
and salt water disposal (i.e., SWD or 2D).
UIC wells of the 2R type are designed to inject fluids (water and/or CO 2 )into the subsurface to mobilize oil and/or gas into production wells.
2R is a class 2 recovery well.
I think it means they inject water and or CO2 to facilitate oil production there.I'm not an oil man. Does that mean no disposal at that well?
