Scientists Say Oil Industry Likely Caused Largest Oklahoma Earthquake
2013-03-29 20:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: The largest recorded earthquake in Oklahoma history was likely triggered by the injection of wastewater from oil production into wells deep beneath the earth, according to a study published Tuesday in the scientific journal Geology. The magnitude 5.7 earthquake, which struck in 2011 near Prague in central Oklahoma, is the largest and most recent of a number of quakes scientists have tied to wastewater injection from oil and natural gas production, raising new concerns about the practice. Advanced...

Fracking 'linked to biggest Oklahoma earthquake'
2013-03-27 12:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Scientists say wastewater injection from hydraulic fracturing was linked to a magnitude-5.7 earthquake that struck the US state of Oklahoma in 2011. Fracking, as it is known, injects water and chemicals into petroleum wells in a bid to extract trapped natural gas. Opponents of the practice say that it risks causing seismic events and contaminating groundwater. The study in Geology shows that "induced seismicity" can occur years after wastewater injection begins. Most seismic events linked...

Oklahoma Quake Tied to Wastewater Shows Oil Boom Impact
2013-03-26 14:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: A 2011 Oklahoma earthquake has been tied by researchers to the disposal of wastewater from oil production, the latest study suggesting the energy boom from advances such as fracking is increasing temblors. A series of quakes in November 2011 followed an 11-fold bump in seismic activity across the central U.S., as disposal wells are created to handle the increase in hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, for oil and gas, geologists at the University of Oklahoma, Columbia University and the U.S. Geological...
