With the evidence coming in from one study after another, scientists are now more certain than ever that oil and gas drilling is causing hundreds upon hundreds of earthquakes across the U.S. So far, the quakes have been mostly small and have done little damage beyond cracking plaster, toppling bricks and rattling nerves.

Report: Man-Made Earthquakes Shake Over a Dozen Areas in US
2015-04-23 15:39:06| Oil & Gas - Topix.net
More than a dozen areas in the United States have been shaken in recent years by small earthquakes triggered by oil and gas drilling, a government report released Thursday found. The man-made quakes jolted once stable regions in eight states, including parts of Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas , New Mexico , Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas, according to researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey.
Oil and gas activity did cause Azle earthquakes, SMU researchers say

A study led by Southern Methodist University found that high volumes of waste water injection combined with the extraction of saltwater extraction by the oil and gas industry caused the earthquakes in that region. Azle, Reno and other communities northwest of Fort Worth experienced more than 30 minor earthquakes from late 2013 to early 2014.
Oklahoma's Earthquakes Are Becoming Too Frequent For The Oil and Gas Industry To Hide

Blame for the surge in earthquakes in Oklahoma over the past three years is finally being placed where it belongs , on the oil and gas industry, despite the best efforts of that industry to buy off or chill efforts to expose the dangers of disposing the wastewater byproduct of oil drilling and hydraulic fracturing into the state's porous limestone foundation. From 2010 to 2013, Oklahoma oil production jumped by two-thirds and gas production rose by more than one-sixth, according to federal figures.
