3.7 Earthquake Northern Nacogdoches County
breaking @ www.dailysentinel.com
and www.NOAA.gov
Speculation to follow.
Officials warn that Nacogdoches and Shelby counties could experience aftershocks following Thursday morning’s earthquake that registered a 3.7 magnitude by the United States Geological Survey.
“These aftershocks are usually less violent than the main earthquake, but can be strong enough to do damage,” said a press release from the Nacogdoches Unified Emergency Operations Center. “Aftershocks can occur hours, days, weeks, or even months (later).”

Lex Luther thought that it could.

Two Dogs, you could be right. I should ask some friend who are comic fanatics and know of every evil took used by Bad Guys in the Marvel or DC Multi-Verse!
I guarantee if fracking has not yet been in comics, it soon will be.

Hopeful, Lex was pumping water into the fault not fracking. Under his thinking this would cause an earthquake of epic magnitude that would slide the left coast into the Pacific thus causing all the desert properties Lex had bought up in Nevada to become beach front $$$$ properties.

What if you were standing in Canada and looking South?
That left coast would slide into the Atlantic taking Louisiana with it. Texas would have two beach front $$$$ properties and claim Louisiana in their offshore drilling rights.

Think it was the San Andras Fault may not have spelled that correctly. That would have left Texas and Louisiana on the high and dry but you can go back and watch the movie.

wickipedia says that hydraulic fracturing was first used in 1947 tho the current technique was first used in the late 1990s in the Barnett Shale.

Keep slinging those articles Sesport! That's a very good article on the history of fracKing (I think i will start spelling it with a capital K)
.
The article mentions a 2006 conference honoring 9 Legends of FracKing - but an earlier paragraph says that attempts were made in the 1800's. However, while the technique might have been known earlier it is not until after 2006 that what the world knows as fracKing became widespread and really contribution to the energy supply. When did the fracKing exemption come in? Wasn't it about 2006?
.
In 2006, SPE honored nine pioneers of the hydraulic fracturing industry as Legends of Hydraulic Fracturing. Claude E. Cooke Jr., Francis E. Dollarhide, Jacques L. Elbel, C. Robert Fast, Robert R. Hannah, Larry J. Harrington, Thomas K. Perkins, Mike Prats, and H.K. van Poollen were recognized as instrumental in developing new technologies and contributing to the advancement of the field through their roles as researchers, consultants, instructors, and authors of ground-breaking journal articles.

I think George Mitchell may have been the first to use fracing in a horizontal well.

Grew up in Southern California. Pretty hard to get too worked up for something under a magnitude of 6.0.

Okay, this is not my field or subject of study whatsoever. I recall an energy company conceding fracking is linked to quakes, but can't find it. I would really like to read articles that confirm or counter this argument. The following is from a quick search.

The Lithium Connection to Shale Drilling
Shale drilling and lithium extraction are seemingly distinct activities, but there is a growing connection between the two as the world moves towards cleaner energy solutions. While shale drilling primarily targets…
