Experts say recent OKLAHOMA Quakes NOT man made-

Well, we can lay the theory of fracking or (hydraulic fracturing) as the cause of the recent eathquakes in oklahoma. Hopefully this is just good ol mother earth relieveing some pressure, and not the cause of something upcoming in the area(like the Madrid fault line).

From the article:The magnitude- 5.6 quake that rocked Oklahoma three miles underground had the power of 3,800 tons of TNT, which is nearly 2,000 times stronger than the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. The typical energy released in tremors triggered by fracking, “is the equivalent to a gallon of milk falling off the kitchen counter,” said Stanford University geophysicist Mark Zoback. In Oklahoma, home to 185,000 drilling wells and hundreds of injection wells, the question of man-made seismic activity comes up quickly. But so far, federal, state and academic experts say readings show that the Oklahoma quakes were natural, following the lines of a long-known fault. “There’s a fault there,” said U.S. Geological Survey seismologist Paul Earle. “You can have an earthquake that size anywhere east of the Rockies. You don’t need a huge

So that means they are man made. Thanks for the info.

kinda read the same thing, 2 quakes in denver were man-made....and our tech is better now, so we should be able to make bigger ones, right?

You can lay it if you want, I'm good thanks.
"Experts say"... is that like the "some people say" tactic the media uses?

Nice lol! Thats usually how it goes right? I do find intresting in the article some of these sources are from the drilling companies themselves, what else would they say? "Ya were the ones causing the earth to quake, move along"

I'll give them as much as saying no one is deliberately causing these earthquakes, and I don't believe anyone is. What would the gain be in not only demonstrating the technology exists and is precise but using it so many times that any enemy would have plenty of time to watch and learn from the efforts?

I think they may be applying the grease of injection wells in just the right spots, by sheer law of averages, once in awhile. When that happens, we get a slip and an Earthquake. That's just what seems to make sense as a possibility here.

I know there was talk about it as a very serious concern when I lived in Southern California and they first drilled the well/research hole into the San Andreas fault area at the Cajon Pass (I-15). There was a lot of talk back then about the outside possibility of disturbing the deep rock structure and throwing off delicate balances.

If there is even the slightest chance that our ignorance of the ways deep rock may be effected and how the liquids being shot into the rock may travel, then I say it all has to be shut down as a precaution until that is answered.

It's a sobering thought...but we've only got written records and reliable history of this continent for a few hundred years. Who is to say with certainty the New Madrid is the ONLY major fault and we just haven't found another one by lack of activity? The timing and proximity of the wells to the quakes just make it too obvious that it may be connected.......time to stop and check.

Fracking causes lots of earthquakes that wouldn't otherwise have occurred. Fracking also has caused earthquakes much larger than the Oklahoma M5.6 earthquake.

Somewhere in my 22 sequential videos on YouTube, I watched as an earthquake cell grew and grew to immense proportions and intensity. When this huge earthquake cell released its energy slowly after 2 months of watching this earthquake cell grow and grow and grow, an M6.8 was the result. Anyhow, to make the story short, I found out later that the site was basically sitting on top of a site that had just started fracking.

As for Colorado back in the 1960's, the USGS found out that the military was injecting liquid nerve gas into the ground and that the USGS could turn on and off earthquakes at that location simply by injecting fluids into the ground at that location; which I might add was contrary to what the USGS wanted to prove. The more volume of fluids, the more earthquakes produced; earthquakes that would never have occurred otherwise in nature.

The USGS is ignorant on the detection of earthquakes before they strike. They are very ignorant about the pulses that occur before earthquakes can strike, and many of you saw the Japan and Australia videos where the ground oozed out water and then recided and then oozed out more water in a pulsing motion, this is what piezoseismology detects that other seismic systems can't detect.

experts given a choice of sides to back in this a jobless society? Right, not hard to figure out how they came to that conclusion.

Yup yup. I'm gonna sound like a total sycophant here, but I totally agree.

What else are the experts really going to say? Gotta keep those grants flowing in, and I'll be they got a huge boost from somebody for that little diddy.

Just good ol mother earth relieving some pressure, I feel you, I feel you brah. I'm so glad we live in a world where we have people who tell us everything's alright so we don't have to question or worry. And we don't even have to pay them for the reassurance! Somebody else takes care of that.

No link between human activity and earthquakes huh?

As for "lubricating" faults with water or some other substance, injecting high pressure fluids deep into the ground is known to be able to trigger earthquakes to occur sooner than would have been the case without the injection. However this would be a dangerous pursuit in any populated area, as one might trigger a damaging earthquake.

emphasis mine

From the USGS

And the Department of Energy thinks the topic (induced seismicity, google it) important enough to have a page dedicated to it:

Induced seismicity associated with energy production and waste disposal will become an increasingly important issue, (geothermal, CO 2 sequestration, and oil and gas, etc.) as energy production in a climate constrained earth progresses.

Although induced seismicity has been noted for many years andassociated with a variety of causes, recent attention has been focused on oil and gas, geothermal andpotential CO 2 sequestration sites.

A search of Department of Energy's knowldge databse for the hrase "induced seismicity" yields 490 entries which mention the topic, so it is not unknown to the governmental body in charge of overseeing energy production and research.

This link confirms that earthquakes in Oklahoma are the result of fracking.

But don’t blame the surprise flurry of earthquakes in Oklahoma on man’s thirst for oil and gas, experts say. The weekend quakes were far stronger than the puny tremors from drilling – especially the controversial practice of hydraulic fracturing.

I find this quote from the article interesting.It appears they admit fracking does cause EQ's. I didn't think they would even admit that much to the public.
