Fracking is not new. But horizontal wells are a little new. Used to they fracked a relatively small area 3 or 4 miles deep. Now the frac a horizontal well that is not as deep, its in shale, and they frac an area that is a mile or so long. But I don't necessarily believe fracking is causing the earthquakes.

I've lived in OKC all of my 55 years. We bought earthquake insurance a couple of years after we had a pretty big quake that really shook things. If you own your home outright, you can't afford to not have earthquake insurance. $100 per year.

But yeah.... earthquakes in Oklahoma are a relatively new experience.

In California it is many times that.
