Texas Officials Consider Oil and Gas Operations Caused 5.1 Magnitude Earthquake
The quake was centered about 28 miles north of Midland and was one of the strongest recorded in Texas history.
The Texas Railroad Commission wasted little time in starting an investigation into whether oil and gas operations and wastewater disposal wells were linked to last week’s 5.1 magnitude earthquake that rattled the Permian Basin.
The quake was centered about 28 miles north of Midland and was one of the strongest recorded in Texas history.
The Railroad Commission of Texas, the governmental agency tasked with overseeing oil and gas production in the state, is investigating the 5.1-magnitude earthquake that rattled much of West Texas Monday night for any connection to produced water disposal wells related to petroleum extraction.
The Railroad Commission said in a statement to the Avalanche-Journal Wednesday the agency is looking a magnitude 5.1 quake that originated 28 miles north of Midland and shook cities and towns across the western part of the state — one of the strongest in Texas history. The quake was one of more than 50 earthquakes that have stricken Martin and surrounding counties in the last seven days.
