Fracking Halted at Encino Pad in Ohio Linked to Earthquakes
Yesterday, MDN brought you the news that the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) is laying the blame for a series of low-level earthquakes in southeastern Ohio on fracking at a shale well in Noble County (see ODNR Says Fracking in Noble County, OH Caused Series of Earthquakes). We were/are somewhat incredulous. Most of the time, low-level quakes are tied to injection wells near active faults, not to wells being fracked. However, a new news report says ODNR has halted fracking at the suspect well while it investigates.To view this content, log into your member account. (Not a member? Join Today!)
