Ohio Creates Tougher Fracking Rules to Reduce Risk of Earthquakes
2014-04-15 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Columbus Dispatch: State officials now say a series of earthquakes that shook Mahoning County last month likely were caused by fracking, leading them to create the most stringent drilling rules in the nation, requiring seismic monitoring near fault lines and epicenters. Yesterday, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources announced the rules, which say that monitors must be placed at new drilling sites within 3 miles of known fault lines or areas that experienced an earthquake greater than magnitude 2.0. The state...

Oklahoma rattled by an uptick in earthquakes

USA Today: Oklahoma, a state more known for tornadoes than seismic shifts, is becoming all too familiar with earthquakes of late. In the past seven days, 48 quakes larger than the magnitude of 2.5 have struck, says Paul Caruso, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey. In the past 30 days, there have been 157 quakes larger than magnitude 2.5. "We've never seen anything like this in Oklahoma," he says. The numbers back him up. "Since 2009, the earthquake activity in Oklahoma has been approximately...

Hydraulic Fracturing Led Earthquakes in Ohio's Appalachians
2014-04-12 04:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Softpedia: A group of researchers in Ohio have for the first time linked hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, to the generation of small earthquakes. Their work was carried out on a geological formation buried deep under the Appalachian mountains and has already sparked reaction among state officials. The first consequence of the new report is that companies seeking to engage in this type of natural resources exploitation in the state will from April 11 onwards have to respect a more strict set of conditions...
