[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 2357583, member: 1294"] The Army was the first to link injection wells to seismic activity, they're libtards? Not a lot of wells in this area? More than 10,000 underground injection wells were active in Oklahoma as of January 2013, [url]http://stateimpact.npr.org/oklahoma/tag/earthquakes/[/url] And while it's still not conclusive there has been a reported increase in seismic activity in all the areas you mentioned. Since records began in 1776, Youngstown, Ohio had never been shaken by an earthquake, until the Northstar 1 deep injection well was built to pump wastewater produced by fracking in Pennsylvania. In December 2010 the Northstar 1 came online, and in the year that followed 109 seismic events were recorded at Youngstown. "The earthquakes were centered in subsurface faults near the injection well," said Dr. Won-Young Kim. "These shocks were likely due to the increase in pressure from the deep waste water injection which caused the existing fault to slip." Waste fluid generated during shale gas production, or hydraulic fracturing, is pumped underground by the deep injection well. Researchers found that the onset, cessation, and dips in seismic activity correlated to activity at the Northstar 1 well. Their findings are published in Geophysical Research-Solid Earth. The first earthquake recorded in the city occurred 13 days after pumping began, and tremors ceased shortly after the Ohio Department of Natural Resources shut down the well in December 2011.
