Just felt another earthquake. Is this the big one!  |
|
Time doesn't line up. I felt it @ 8:22 am, so that would be(-6 UTC) 2:22 4/4/2015. |

Quoted: You're right....its the pumping of all the water or other liquids into the ground immediately following the fracking.   Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Must be the fracking.  It's not fracing!  You're right....its the pumping of all the water or other liquids into the ground immediately following the fracking. While this might be true. Why now? Why is it only showing up with salt water injection and not N2 or CO2 injection? Why did it take this long for earthquakes to start showing up when we have been doing salt water injection since the late 70's? |

Quoted: Lots of tremblers around there... (...I know what I said)  fraQQin earthquakes, of course these quakes are happening at about 4 mile depth and the deepest they drill in Ks is only about 5k-6k ft. Yeah, thats what doesn't make sense. And if fracing was causing all of this why the hell didn't all this start back 30 years ago. |
When you get to 6.0 or higher, let me know!!!!! 3.0 around here is a 'daily' event, not even worth mentioning!

Quoted: A 4.2 earthquake OMGWTFBBQ! http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m168/AR-15_Paul/19fl3fc74on2bpng_zps297011b2.png I know right! |

Yes, it has been around for quite some time, but it has increased in use dramatically over the last ten or so years. Simply put: More fracking = more disposal wells = more instability. |

fraQQin earthquakes, of course these quakes are happening at about 4 mile depth and the deepest they drill in Ks is only about 5k-6k ft. Interesting, in Texas they inject as deep as 13,000 feet below the Barnett shale, this would be roughly 2.5 miles, and.well below the 5-6 k feet of the fracking well. |

Even though we have been in a boom recently. I don't know if it comes anywhere near the rig count from the early 80's. (I would have to see the rig count data to confirm this.) I simply don't know if there is more Fracing going on now, then say in the 80's or for that fact the 90's(when I started). If it is, and that is a big if. You would think with the decrease in rigs drilling, you would see a decrease in earthquakes. http://www.hutchpost.com/2015/04/02/us-oil-and-natural-gas-rig-count-continues-decline/ |

There is a hell of a big difference in "feeling" and earthquake and having one move your bed across the floor and knocking buildings down.......... we have the tornadoes for that part....some days we have earthquakes and tornadoes at the same day..I tell my kids we don't have to go to the movies anymore just sit on the front porch for awhile and you'll see some shit Michael Bay couldn't dream up. |
