Geologists closely monitoring surge in Arkansas earthquakes. The Extinction Protocol. Excerpts:
The Arkansas Geological Survey says it is stepping up its monitoring of seismic activity in central Arkansas after dozens of small earthquakes in the region. Six minor quakes were recorded Friday near Quitman, the latest of more than 50 temblors in October.
Perspective on these earthquakes have not been framed correctly, as fracking was seen as the only cause of these tremors. Fracking exacerbated the quakes, but were not primary cause. This is becoming clear..
The shaking follows more than 1,000 earthquakes centered between Guy and Greenbrier from September 2010 to July of this year, when the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission ordered four gas disposal wells shut down and voted to create a large moratorium area in which no future disposal wells could be drilled. Geologists said the activity – which involves injecting pressurized liquid into the ground – was likely contributing to the shaking. The quakes between Guy and Greenbrier tailed off significantly in August, but more quakes began occurring in October closer to Quitman. It sits about 10 miles northeast of Guy. That distance is potentially concerning, warned Scott Ausbrooks, geo-hazards supervisor for the Arkansas Geological Survey. The Quitman quakes are occurring along the same line as the Guy-Greenbrier ones, but there’s a miles-long gap between Guy and Quitman in which no quakes have been recorded. That might suggest that the tension is building, possibly leading up to a larger quake centered on that gap along the fault. A similar-sized gap occurred on the southern end of the Guy-Greenbrier fault and it in February unleashed a 4.7-magnitude quake, the largest of any of the recent tremors. Anytime there is a gap in seismicity along an active fault, it “bears watching,” Ausbrooks said.
And:
Earthquakes continued for years after drilling ended at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal in Colorado, where an injection well is thought to have initially triggered seismic activity.
So, the cause remains open; possibly. Meanwhile, in Oklahoma..
Seismic awakening? Earthquakes are increasing in Oklahoma and no one knows why.. Also from The Extinction Protocol (Great site, btw..) Excerpts:
Two small earthquakes(3.5 and 3.3) were reported in Oklahoma County early Friday, authorities report.
..
Oklahoma is home to the Meers Fault which is located in the southwestern part of the state. State geologists feel Meers is just one part of Oklahoma’s complex geology that makes the state capable of producing an earthquake up to a potential 6.5 magnitude however, that doesn’t account for the latest series of tremors breaking out near Oklahoma City.

On the same day, 7 aftershocks were recorded from M4.7 to M.5.5. and today, October 29 again 4 aftershocks from M.4.7 to M4.9.
