Huge area of Texas oil patch is heaving and sinking.

“Our analysis looked at just this 4000-square-mile area. We’re fairly certain that when we look further, and we are, that we’ll find there’s ground movement even beyond that. This region of Texas has been punctured like a pin cushion with oil wells and injection wells since the 1940s and our findings associate that activity with ground movement.” Jin-Woo Kim, a research scientist in the SMU Department of Earth Sciences.

According to geophysicists from Southern Methodist University, oil and gas activity is contributing to alarming land movements and a rising threat of sinkholes across a huge swath of W Texas. The authors of the study reported that there are approximately 297,000 oil wells many of which are in the Permian Basin, the hottest oil patch in the world.
