Texas RRC Agrees Earthquakes Not Caused by EnerVest, XTO Injection Wells
2015-11-17 20:48:08| Oil & Gas - Topix.net
In a November 3 decision, the Texas Railroad Commission agreed with an administrative law judge that two wastewater injection wells, one operated by EnerVest Operating LLC and the other by Exxon Mobil Corp. subsidiary XTO Energy Inc., did not cause a series of earthquakes near the towns of Reno and Azle from late 2013 through spring of 2014. The Commissioners' unanimous decision found there was not enough evidence to link the wells to the seismic activity, and determined that the companies should be allowed to maintain their well permits.

Experts recommend modeling to avoid earthquakes resulting from fracking
2015-11-10 16:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Using computer analysis prior to drilling could limit seismic events as a result of hydraulic fracturing, according to new research published in the Canadian Geotechnical Journal. Hydraulic fracturing, also known as "fracking," is used to break the subsurface rock mass into pieces and is done by injecting high-pressure fluid. While this gives the fluid or gas more paths to reach production wells, it also leads to several environmental problems, one of which is the unwanted shaking of the ground...
