    I dont have an opinion on fracking, I just know that there hasn't been any fracking and nothing has been pumped into the southernmost fault.
    There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

      I'm a fracking engineer wannabe and would be happy to troubleshoot the dry well situation in the southernmost fault, if you'd issue me a temporary overnight permit. I promise I'll probe the pipe with clean equipment. Well it'll be fairly clean unless it hits mud, which they say can happen on occasion.

        Don't dispose of any wastewater. That's a no-no.

          If you can get the permits, go for it! For over 20 years to no avail, I've been trying to get an exploratory drilling permit, there. I've bribed, begged and lied. I've even gotten the decision maker drunk. I don't mind working in a used oilfield, as long as I know it will pay dividends, so explore away!

            Drilling dry holes has put many exploration ventures out of business.

              Sometimes I forget why I pay attention to the off-topic forum.

              And then something like this happens.

                  The wells are several hundred/thousand feet deep; the earthquakes are occurring several miles deep. Seems to be a logical disconnect there, but I'm not a geologist.
                  I've always been under the assumption that the quake originates near the same area of the drilling or injection.

                  And I'm really not sure if this reply is in the satirical or literal context of the current discussion.

                    I'm no geologist, but here is how I see it.

                    Sometimes you have to do extensive work on territory distant from the drilling site. A lot of the time, lots of preliminary exploration in the mountains preceeds any drilling. I've even trucked my derrick right through the mountain passes before shoving my bit into the eventual drill site. It all depends.

                    As for the quake, the biggest ones seem to come from deep within the injection site, but lesser quakes have occured from preliminary work up in the hills. There are plenty of things that make the ground shake, but the biggest shakes seem to come right from the injection site.

                    That is just from my persinal observations as someone that has drilled plenty of holes over the last 30+ years.
                    There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

                      You wont find quality threads like this on any other Valley sites.

                        No, my comment was literal.

                            It was implied.

                              That would seem to be appropriate, considering the name of the thread.
