[QUOTE="16colt, post: 3446525, member: 529"] Hydraulic fracturing or “frac’ing” has been mainstream in Oklahoma since the ‘60s. I don’t understand the statement that it is not necessary. Economic quantities of oil & gas cannot be produced without this process. Most wells are now completed in tight sands or shales, other formations have been largely depleted by years of production. Without frac’ing, there would be little oil & gas production in our state. As far as earthquakes, frac’ing is not the big issue here, but rather the produced water from the formation itself that is injected back into the ground for disposal. Flowback water post frac is largely returned in the first couple of weeks after production begins. The OCC has since regulated the daily amounts of water that can be injected in specific wells in problem locations in attempt to minimize the risk. Oklahoma’s economy is very dependent on this industry and many jobs will be lost if frac’ing is stopped. There will be a huge trickle down effect too. Not only jobs lost in the industry, but the supporting jobs including small town cafes, auto dealers, tire shops, mechanics, electricians, etc. Small town economies will take just as big a hit (proportionally) as the larger cities.
