"...earthquakes...which experts have suggested are due to fracking."

A friend that got out of that biz says frackquakes are just part of the deal.

“salty water contaminated with oil”

Make that “oil contaminated with salty water.”

Oil is the good stuff. If there was a contaminant in the admixture, it must be the salty water.

Most likely a wastewater injection site as mentioned in the excerpt.

Salt Dome that was breached.

Bad cementing job of the casing for the injection well.?

Using nitrogen to lessen the amount of cement (lighter weight) for the cementing job?

*Nitrogen can cause channeling in the cement.

About 30 years ago, I accompanied a friend who was looking for a small farm to buy in Ohio.

One such possibility . . . as we looked over the primary field - there was a slight depression of the ground - where oil came bubbling up to the surface: a black pond.

" toxic fumes coming from the eruption measured 250 parts per million.

The number 250 is an odd number for a 'measurement'. 247.3, or something like that would be more realistic. 250 sounds more like an estimate (guess). I suspect they were guessing the level right at the escape point, while making a measurement hundreds of feet away where the mixture would have time to disburse. It likely disbursed to safe levels quickly.

H2S is no joke. You can drop dead fast on it. When a well blows out like that they usually set a fire.
