More "fracking-induced" quakes in Oklahoma

[Dot Com]

When are you carbon junkies gonna learn that extraction has a price and a steep one at that?

USGS: 7 small earthquakes shake central Oklahoma

The Oklahoma Geological Survey has said the state is experiencing unprecedented earthquake activity and that his agency is closely monitoring it to determine whether the quakes are a natural phenomenon or are man-made.

I'm not convinced this is a bad thing. Fracking doesn't make new faults, it sets off existing faults earlier than would have otherwise happened. And a bunch of small earthquakes is better than one big one.

Of course, one could counter by saying that big one might not have happened for 10,000 years, at which point we'll have floating cities.

Prior to fracking, OK never had earthquakes

Never

Not even once

Uh huh

"The series of great earthquakes in the New Madrid, Missouri, region in 1811 - 1812, and a strong earthquake centered in Arkansas (October 22, 1881) were probably felt in the area that is now Oklahoma.

The first earthquake known to have centered in the State occurred in September 1918. A series of shocks at El Reno produced only minor effects; the strongest was intensity V on September 10. Objects were thrown from shelves. Other shocks occurred on the next day. On December 27, 1929, another tremor centered in the same area was felt in portions of central and western Oklahoma. Some plaster cracked and at least one chimney fell (intensity VI) at El Reno. In addition, clocks stopped, objects moved, and some reports indicated the walls and floors seemed to sway. In several cities, people rushed from their homes in alarm. The total felt area included about 20,000 square kilometers.

The magnitude 5.5 April 9, 1952, earthquake centered near El Reno affected most of Oklahoma and parts of Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Texas. Damage from the 10:30 a.m. CST earthquake was not extensive, but many people in the epicentral area were alarmed, some to near panic. Portions of chimneys fell in El Reno and Ponca City (intensity VII). Bricks loosened from a building wall and tile facing of commercial buildings bulged at Oklahoma City. Also, plate glass windows were shattered in the business district of El Reno. The total damage amounted to several thousand dollars. Aftershocks were felt on April 11, 15, and 16, July 16, and August 14; an earthquake that was felt (IV) at Holdenville and Wewoka on October 7 apparently was unrelated to the April 9th event. Homes and buildings shook and some persons were awakened (V) at El Reno from the April 16th shock, which occurred 5 minutes after midnight. Felt reports were also received from Kingfisher, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and Union City."

It's statistics, Frank. Something you've always been dogshit ignorant of, hence your global warming positions.

If suddenly, all over the nation, there are lots of little earthquakes in exactly the same spots as the fracking, areas that had very few earthquakes before, it means something.

Oh, you should have read the post above you before you fucked yourself

Frank, your second post was just more of the same stupid fallacy on your part.

But hey, go on denying reality. It's served you well so far.

well if you were an honest carbon junky and you are one,you have noted the piece din't identify a cause.

So try again.

What reality is that?.your type has a real hard time with the truth?

We have been having many small tremors in NY and there is no fracking going on there at all.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Global Warming is causing the tremors

Oklahoma had it's oil boom in the 1920's. There were a lot more wells drilled then than now.

"Fracking" is short for fracturing the tube through which the well was drilled with explosives
to allow the oil to enter the well.

All of those early wells were "fracked" but the earthquakes started when?

Fracking is an old method its been around for years and years,so has dishonesty.

I grew up in Oklahoma in the 1960-80's and remember earthquakes happening there several times.

They were always small and would just rattle the dishes setting inside the china cabinet and make the ash tray scoot across the coffee table. ..

 

[hjmick]

Get back to us when they know what's causing them. Well, if it's something other than natural...

denier!!

He's a fracking denier, amiright?

It isn't fracking that is causing the quakes.

We have no fracking in Arizona and we just had an earthquake not too long ago.
It is rare to have one here in the Southeastern part of AZ. but it seems something else big is going on.

Hydraulic fracturing, first tried in 1947, has become popular since the '80s with the development of horizontal well drilling and high-pressure injection of sand-water solutions.

It probably does cause earthquakes but that may be a blessing as previously mentioned. It may cause groundwater contaimination if not done correctly and here is a role for government oversight. There is likely much more energy trapped underground than we've extracted to date.

Come on, Cultists! You're slacking off!!

Let them frack all they want over there.
