[QUOTE="DrinkYourMilkshake, post: 2718877, member: 37041"] Simple geophysics state that hydraulic fracturing can only induce microseismicity. This is seismic activity that neither you nor I can even feel. The issue is from water injection. Now, you have people that like to link water injection directly to, and exclusively to hydraulic fracturing. This is not the case. If you want to approach this scientifically, get data. Go to the corporation commission and get details about the injection wells. If you want an example... the Prague swarm. Wells associated with this swarm, while they are certainly waste water injection wells, they are hardly waste water from hydraulic fracturing. The majority of We from these wells are waste water residuals from conventional wells. Beyond that, I side (regardless of my chosen moniker showing my obvious affiliation) with the oil companies, including that rat *******, dog of a destructor Harold Hamm. Why? Because the science isn't vetted. If you knew how much unknowns there are when it comes to geology, my slant wouldn't even be in question. It is reasonable, any time there is damage to personal property, that people want to jump on the first target that seems to be the most plausible cause. And when there is hesitancy, people want to immediately assume "They done been bought out by big oil." This is simply not the case. OGS hasn't been bought out by big oil. And any of you can go sit in on a course lecture going on at the Mewbourne School of Earth and Energy and hear professor speculate as to what process involved in drilling, completion or otherwise that might be causing these earthquakes and find that the speculation by staff does not quite mesh with your conspiracy. It does not benefit energy producers to lie. When they lie, as in the past, they get caught. Credibility is a big player it today's energy business. There are reason's why sites such as Petro-wiki exist. It is to get information out to the "little guy." You would be hard-pressed to find any credible energy representative that comes out and says "THIS IS NOT OUR PROBLEM." Why? Because that just doesn't wash well when you are facing a large amount of class action lawsuits. [/QUOTE]
