I wonder if the depth of the Haynesville Shale would make it less likely in the Ark--La-Tex?

If the microseisms caused by fracing is leading to earthquakes, North Korea had better prepare for the "BIG ONE".

Twomule, this issue looks to be a "red herring" since it will have no impact on the area quality of life. At this point there does not appear to be any technical evidence of a relationship.
If the acitivity occurred much closer to the surface then it would be a bigger issue. This was the problem with some of the shallow oil production the occurred in the early 1900's in Southeast Texas & California. Removal of the oil from very shallow formations resulted in subsidence issues. As I remember that was the reason for Sour Lake, Texas.

In Arizona overpumping of groundwater for irrigation has caused subsidence of land surface by as much as 18 or more feet historically. Earth fissures developed extending to the surface. I suspect that minor tremors may have been associated with this.
Frequntly when a large lake fills for the first time earth tremors occur due to the loading of the weight of the water.
This is common and may go undetected except by seismometers. If you need something to worry about, think New Madrid fault. Read Jays comments.

Today's Yahoo article written by Jeff Carlton, Associated Press. Looked him up and was led to wind /solar alternative energy ad.

This topic keeps coming to the surface and it is not my fault.

Next they will blame the geophysical companies. Or maybe all who pump water from wells and cause overdraft and declining water tables. If these quakes are causing no damage why worry. Maybe USGS could install some seismometers to monitor.

The beauty of earthquakes are that they will happen and can be used for any political/theological reason. Geologically, would it not have caused more notice if indeed the activity were to blame?

Clyde,
I do agree with you. I think that the cause is not known at this point in time and the cause, to me is not important. Except perhaps academically. I do think the cause(s) could be identified with some monitoring efforts. Perhaps it would be a good topic for some geophysicsist PHD candidate.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??
In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of) nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.
This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
