...where crying about?
Neighbor in my cube farm had ask me about fracking. I tried to give her a simple honest answer that I remembered from my days at Shell which mainly centered around the enormous pressures that the rocky formations exert at the depths.
I didn't get halfway through the explanation and she blurts out......but what about all of the earthquakes in Oklahoma? To me the answer is still the same. Can you pump liquids at high pressure to fracture rock and cause a rocky formation to have artificial earthquake?
Can someone give me a brief refresher why fracking does not cause earthquakes and why we haven't heard of any more in the news? Seems like we would have continued to have more.
