You have probable seen this story which simply states the obvious. When will we learn? Or, will we learn?
The onslaught of seismic activity in Oklahoma in recent years has captured the attention of the nation.
State scientists say they have uncovered the root cause of the majority of the state’s earthquakes: the oil and gas industry’s disposal of billions of barrels of water underground. [Italics added]
Now, as the public absorbs this information, Oklahoma’s regulatory bodies are keeping a watchful eye on these disposal wells and planning their next moves.
Link between earthquakes and industry
On Tuesday, the Oklahoma Geological Survey (OGS) issued its most strongly worded statement yet linking the oil and gas industry to the state’s earthquakes.
State geologist Richard D. Andrews and state seismologist Austin Holland say the spike in earthquakes — particularly in central and north-central areas of the state — is “very unlikely to represent a naturally occurring process.”
“The primary suspected source of triggered seismicity is not from hydraulic fracturing but from the injection/disposal of water associated with oil and gas production,” the report from the Oklahoma Geological Survey (OGS) reads.
The seismicity rate in Oklahoma is about 600 times greater than it was before 2008, around the time dewatering started in the state.

Hugh, timely post. A friend sent me this last night, as the US Geological Survey announced this yesterday that eight states now show links between man-made underground wastewater disposal and earthquakes. At some point, the industry has to be seen as “don’t pay attention to the man behind the curtain” don’t you think? Keep on beating the drum. Thanks, BTG

Your title says it all. And still the industry and politicians have their head in the sand.
And their hands in the pockets of Big Oil!
