Oklahoma Earthquake: Fears Of Major Quake In Oklahoma Increase

0

Oklahoma earthquakes are rising at such an incredible rate that USGS warns for major quake in Oklahoma.

If you want to understand this weird situation (fracking vs natural quakes), read the article below!

I don’t know how long this has to continue, how severe it has to get, and how many scientific studies have to be undertaken, before Oklahomans collectively accept that there is hard evidence that these earthquakes are not naturally occurring phenomena.

OKLAHOMA Because of the rate of earthquakes recorded in Oklahoma has increased “remarkably” in less than a year, the U.S. Geological Survey warned – three months ago – that the chances of a “damaging” temblor in Central Oklahoma have increased “significantly.”

Further, the federal agency reported that a statistical analysis indicates oilfield wastewater injected into deep geological formations is “a likely contributing factor” to the increased number of quakes.

The Oklahoma Geological Survey counted 2,966 tremors in Oklahoma during the first seven months of this year. Of those events, 910, or 30% of them, registered at or greater than magnitude 2.5. The two largest were magnitude 4.5; one occurred in Logan County, near Marshall, the other in Oklahoma County, near Luther.

From Jan. 1 through July 31 the USGS recorded seismic activity at numerous other locations in the state. Tremors were logged in or near Guthrie, Edmond, Spencer, Medford, Choctaw, Jones, Harrah, Pawnee, Yale, Stillwater, Perkins, Enid, Perry, Cherokee, Tonkawa, Coalgate, Wetumka, Prague, Hartshorne, McAlester, Boley, Chandler, Stroud, El Reno, Langston, Crescent, and McCord southeast of Ponca City in far western Osage County.

Approximately 12,000 injection wells have been drilled in this state, records of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission reflect. The majority of those are wells used in enhanced recovery, which seismologists do not consider to be a potential source of earthquakes.

But at least 3,356 of the wells are disposal wells which accepted nearly 1.09 billion barrels of wastewater – 45.7 billion gallons – from oil and gas production operations in 2012. The five largest of those wells, in terms of volumes of wastewater accepted, are all located in Oklahoma County.

The total volume of saltwater disposed of in Oklahoma has been rising steadily: from 844 million barrels in 2007 to more than 939 million barrels (39.45 billion gallons) in 2011.

22 disposal wells in the Oklahoma City – Shawnee – Jones – Edmond earthquake swarm area receive an average of 20 million tons, 96 million gallons, of saltwater and oilfield wastewater annually. Similarly, a dozen disposal wells in the Enid – Pond Creek – Jefferson area accept an average of 6.8 million tons, 50 million gallons, of oilfield wastewater each year.

This is not a conspiration guys! Now you have to collectively accept that there is hard evidence that these earthquakes are not naturally occurring phenomena.
