Ya'll can blame me for this one. We drilled a few wells just a couple of miles from the epicenter. Also had one in Kansas last year that we drilled practically on top of the epicenter.
We will be drilling in Kansas in a couple of weeks. So standby.

UPDATE: The Oklahoma Corporation Commission has ordered the shutdown of oil and gas disposal wells within a 500 square mile area where a 5.6 magnitude earthquake was centered early Saturday in Oklahoma.
In a brief statement, the commission's spokesman indicated that it would be contacting disposal well operators to stop operations. The order will affect approximately 35 wells.
Disposal wells inject waste water — a byproduct of oil and gas drilling — deep into the ground. Scientists believe that the high volume of waste water injected into the ground has triggered Oklahoma's substantial increase in earthquakes in recent years.
According to a Tulsa World analysis in January, the volume of waste water disposed climbed 81 percent across six years, coinciding with the state’s increase in earthquakes.
We were asleep IN bed and it woke us up in southern Mayes county. I thought it was a big truck driving by at first, but much more powerful and longer lasting. Daughter was kind of scared.Did anyone sleep though it and miss it?
