Texas cities eyes on quakes link to drilling data
The SMU led study in Nature Communications links underground wastewater disposal from oil and gas production to a sequence of Azle area earthquakes from 2013 to 2014, with UT and USGS participation. Oklahoma officials called the injections likely driving recent quakes, as maps flag central and eastern U S areas tied to drilling activity. Regulators in Texas and Oklahoma move toward stricter disposal rules and monitoring, while scientists urge evolving standards as more evidence accumulates.
