Commission limits saltwater injection after Kansas quakes
The Kansas Corporation Commission ordered stricter controls on saltwater injection in Harper and Sumner counties to curb earthquakes linked to oilfield practices. The rule caps daily injection at 25 000 barrels and ties volumes to seismic activity, amid ongoing debate about the injection quake connection and calls for more seismic monitoring. The decision follows Kansas Geological Survey data showing a surge in 2.5 magnitude plus earthquakes since 2013.
