SandRidge Relents as Oklahoma Eyes Broader Plan to Reduce Quakes

摘要

A looming court battle over Oklahoma's reaction to the ongoing earthquake swarms ended last week with an agreement between gas producer SandRidge Energy and state regulators. Meanwhile, following another series of quakes, an Oklahoma Corporation Commission official said a larger plan is on the drawing board to address the seismic activity rattling much of the state. Under the pact between SandRidge and the OCC's Oil and Gas Conservation Division (OGCD), the producer agreed to reduce wastwater injection volumes at some wells while relinquishing others to researchers studying the quakes and their potential link to energy operations.
