[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 2738756, member: 3371"] The states with similar geology are having a lot more quakes, not just OK. Not as dramatic as OK but still enough to cause other states to shut down injection wells. (OK has shut down injection wells also) [url]http://www.dallasnews.com/news/states/headlines/20150421-azle-earthquakes-likely-caused-by-oil-and-gas-operations-study-says.ece[/url] This is good article about the exact same discussion going on in TX. The OCC adopted a traffic light system in Dec 2013 where they sometimes restrict the pressures and volumes of injection wells near faults or even can shut them down if a 4.0 or higher quake occurs in proximity to that well. The OGS as well as the OCC has known all along about the relationship between injection wells and earthquakes. What is different now is they are beginning to acknowledge it openly to the public.
