Shale Oil & Gas: Potential For Earthquakes Could Cause Sector To Lose Footing
2014-05-06 07:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Forbes: Shale oil and shale gas development is helping give new life to parts of the country. But it could also be helping to do something more nefarious contribute to smaller earthquakes by discharging millions of tons of wastewater that had been used to drill. Thats according to research recently presented at the Seismological Society of America annual meeting by the U.S. Geological Survey. It says that water that is leftover after fracking must get flushed back down. That is adding stress to existing...
Fracking May Induce Earthquakes at Greater Distance than Previously Thought

Yale Environment 360: Hydraulic fracturing and underground wastewater disposal may trigger earthquakes at tens of kilometers from the wells in which water is injected a greater range than previously thought, according to new research from seismologists. In one case, an earthquake swarm in Oklahoma has been linked to a cluster of fracking injection wells up to 50 kilometers (31 miles) away, Cornell University researchers report. So-called "induced seismicity" when human activity causes tremors in the earth's crust...

Fracking-triggered earthquakes could get stronger, seismologists say
2014-05-02 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Al Jazeera: Fracking-triggered earthquakes could become stronger over time as more wastewater is injected deep underground, new research suggests. It follows the release of several studies linking hydraulic fracturing directly to increased seismic activity. Scientists attending the Seismological Society of America (SSA) annual meeting Thursday said that underground disposal of wastewater and fracking likely induce earthquakes by changing the state of stress on existing faults to the point of failure. Most...
