Does natural gas drilling cause earthquakes?

  • Drilling can and has caused earthquakes. It’s just common sense.
  • Fracking and Quaking: They’re Linked. And scientists, the military, and frackers themselves have known it for years.
  • An industry study admits that drilling can cause earthquakes. Seismicity in the Oil Field.
  • U.S. Government Confirms Link Between Earthquakes and Hydraulic Fracturing
  • UK firm says shale fracking caused earthquakes
  • The British Geological Society confirms their earthquake was caused by fracking.
  • Recent Earthquakes “Almost Certainly Manmade”
  • These diagrams were drawn by a petroleum engineer. They show how fracking can cause earthquakes
  • This is what happens when you pull too much matter out of the earth: Spain earthquake, drilling wells linked in new study of Lorca tragedy. (Also see subsidence above.)

    “..Document the condition of your foundation and walls on a regular basis.” I rephrase that to say ”hey frackers..Document the condition of your foundation and wells (casings) on a regular basis.”

      Hon, unless I’m mistaken, the point of this blog post is “Earthquakes” that occurred early this morning south of Dallas, TX! It’s not like we had them that much when I was growing up, so I would like to discuss that if you don’t mind. Thanks a bunch.

          Thank you for asking, Miss Sharon. I am so ready to enjoy my retirement in Midlothian. Can’t wait. But now, today (the Lord’s Day) there’s been another three of those earthshakes. I was really enjoyin thinking about my retirement until they blew up that frackin factory not far down the road from here. Now these shakes…I may just have to stop this darn frack attack. Thank you, darlin’.
