Following a series of earthquakes that began on New Year's Day, the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC) has requested operators of five wastewater disposal wells north of Oklahoma City to reduce their intake volumes

摘要

The OCC action follows a string of quakes that include a magnitude 4.2 tremor on the first day of the year that was centered near Edmond, Oklahoma. The OCC has asked Pedestal Oil to reduce its intake volumes at one well by 50% and four other wells -- operated by Devon Energy, Grayhorse Operating, New Dominion and R.C. Taylor -- by 25%.
