You’re incredibly misinformed.

Optiguy,

I agree. Oklahoma is full of faults and foldings and all sorts of interesting geological features. They are not as active as in California, but they are there for a reason.

The faults and folds account for the nice oil and gas fields we have here in the first place. Fracking in old fields probably does have some slight effect that, if you were talented and had expensive measuring tools set up, could be detected.

But, this earthquake DEFINITELY was not one caused by jamming some frack fluids down a well bore. This was Mother Nature herself making an “adjustment.”

you got me LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Two natural gas companies agreed Friday to temporarily cease operations of injection wells in an area of central Arkansas that has seen more than 800 earthquakes during the past six months. Shane Khoury, deputy director and general counsel for the commission, said Arkansas Geological Survey researchers had found enough evidence to request an immediate shutdown of the two well locations. He added that the emergency order would not affect the five other injection wells currently operating in that region. “We believe preliminary data from the moratorium study shows a potential connection between injection operations and earthquakes at one or both of those wells,“ he said. http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2011/03/two_natural_gas_companies_to_s.html
