Oklahoma Regulators Impose Water Injection Cut to Stem Earthquakes


Oklahoma regulators are imposing new restrictions on energy companies injecting wastewater underground, in the latest effort to stem a sharp increase in earthquakes. The new rules, announced by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission on Monday evening, require operators in parts of two Oklahoma counties to reduce the amount of saltwater they inject underground by 38 percent from current levels in the next 60 days. The restrictions affect 23 wells run by 12 operators. The state has about 3,500 saltwater disposal wells. Scientists attribute this to increased underground injection since then of briny wastewater, a byproduct of booming oil and gas production. http://bit.ly/1DoN65V http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by Wochit using http://wochit.com
