KCC orders saltwater injection cuts to curb quakes
The Kansas Corporation Commission ordered reductions in saltwater disposal into injection wells in Harper and Sumner counties to lower earthquake risk. The rule caps daily volumes at 16,000 barrels within 10 days, 12,000 by 55 days, and 8,000 by 100 days, a total cut up to 60 percent. The Arbuckle formation across central Kansas and Oklahoma hosts the impacted wells. The KCC notes these wells are a small share of Arbuckle injection operations and cites groundwater safety concerns and fault proximity.
