Geysers are spewing up to 14 feet. I haven't heard if there is a natural gas line with multiple leaks or what is causing this. It appears to be following a creek line and is about a mile south of the city of Kingfisher, moving north.
Spooky.

Interesting.
I'm sure if it was from a pipeline it would have already been identified. Must be an event of nature.

I didn't think OK was a geothermic hotspot although their neighbors to the east are.

Cool! The landowners should cap it and live off the proceeds.
At the old home place, the water was so full of oil it was undrinkable. Our luck, there wasn't enough Texas tea to make it worthwhile.

These geysers constantly erupting could be a major sign of a pending volcanic erupting under the area. I would highly suggest you check to see if there are any underground magma chambers in or around the city of Kingfisher.
If you a living near this area and there are magma chambers underneath you, GET OUT OF TOWN NOW BY AT LEAST A HUNDRED MILES AWAY!!

Is this anywhere near the Meers Fault?

Envirowackos need to sue Mother Nature for polluting the pristine countryside of Oklahoma.

Is this anywhere near the Meers Fault? Meers is in SW quadrant of OK. Kingfisher County is just NW of Oklahoma City (center of the state).

Were these previously known geysers or new ones?

Yes, a volcano can form anywhere, not just on fault lines.
The fact there are geysers there suggest that there is a magna chamber underneath them, heating the water and creating the geysers.
Good news is more volcanoes are dormant, but this increase in the activity in those geysers should raise a few eyebrows.

Were these previously known geysers or new ones? These are new events. And because the reporting so far has been a bit amateurish, it isn't clear to me if these are in fact "geysers" in the classic sense.

From the report, it isn't clear what the hell these are. I'm guessing they may be natural gas emissions. If they follow a creek bed it's likely that they're being emitted along a fault line. I have no idea what the regional geology is like there but it's highly unlikely to be volcanic in origin (no reason to run for the hills yet!).

How about chances it could be an earthquake precursor?
