Expert says drilling caused 11 minor earthquakes in Ohio area

CLEVELAND — A seismologist investigating a series of earthquakes in Youngstown, Ohio said the quakes were almost certainly caused by oil and gas drilling used to dispose of wastewater, according to the Huffington Post.

John Armbruster of Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, N.Y. said the research is still ongoing and it could take up to a year for the wastewater-related rumblings in the earth to dissipate, stated the article.

“The earthquakes will trickle on as a kind of a cascading process once you've caused them to occur,” he said. “This one year of pumping is a pulse that has been pushed into the ground, and it's going to be spreading out for at least a year.”

I wonder how long it will be before CCS pumping of the more volatile CO2 into bad locations, causes major earthquakes? CO2 can abruptly go from solid, or dissolved CO2 in water to a high pressure gas very quickly. Just take a soda pop can, shake it and open it, LOL!!! Or shake it and then heat it, LOL!!!!
