SEISMIC: IT’S THE DISPOSAL, NOT THE FRACKING

This Washington Post article from a few years ago and research from University of Texas (see links) point to the hard truth that it’s not the fracking causing Texas and Oklahoma to shake, rattle, and roll. It’s the injection wells shoving the produced water down the hole under extreme pressure. 

Our patent-pending Conservation By-Design™ solves this problem. Instead of high pressure injection, we land-apply cleaned by-product water on stable, non-shaking soil. This has a lot of positive effects like better soil and better air quality. But it also eliminates the negative effect of seismic activity. 

Yes, sometimes the quakes are out in the middle of nowhere. Yes, sometimes the quakes are small. But what are we going to do when a major city is hit? Change our minds then? Let’s change our minds now.
