Waste Wells to Be Closed in Arkansas By CAMPBELL ROBERTSON Two oil and gas companies agreed to temporarily shut down wastewater disposal wells in Arkansas that some experts believe are connected to a recent swarm of earthquakes. The State Oil and Gas Commission was scheduled to request the shutdowns at an emergency session on Friday morning, six days after Arkansas experienced its largest earthquake in 35 years. The companies that own the wells, Chesapeake Energy and Clarita, agreed to the request before the meeting, said Shane Khoury, deputy director of the commission, though company officials did not support the theory, held by some state researchers, that the wells may be connected to the earthquakes. Such wells are dug for the disposal of wastewater that is a byproduct of natural-gas drilling. Researchers have long studied a potential connection between the use of disposal wells and earthquakes, a correlation that researchers for the Arkansas Geological Survey have observed in recent months. Starting in the fall, thousands of earthquakes have been recorded in north-central Arkansas. Though a fraction of them have been strong enough to be felt, there have been several with a magnitude of 3.5 or higher, including one on Sunday night that registered as magnitude 4.7. A moratorium on new wells in the area has been in place since December, though seven wells that had already been dug were allowed to remain active. The two wells that are being shut down were found to be close to a fault; they will remain shut down at least until a hearing of the Oil and Gas Commission at the end of the month.

Inode, > I really love to watch how the liberals pick an "evil" target and go after it. No doubt, they follow the narrative down to the nitty-gritty details. No one is able to defend the fact that public union employees enjoy much better benefits and pay than those who are left with the bill. No one is able to defend the notion that "collective bargaining rights" means forcing people in certain professions to be part of the union and pay dues to the Democrat party whether they choose to or not. Liberals don't want to go there because they can't win with the facts. All they can do is just stir up jealousy and rage. Tenchusatsu

Salon.com Commenter Calls for Lynching Of Koch Brothers The comments directed at the Koch brothers at left-wing blogs have been among the most vile I have seen anywhere on any topic. But this one by frequent Salon.com commenter Marc22309, who has published over 1800 "letters" (what Salon.com calls comments) certainly is among the most vile: legalinsurrection.blogspot.com

Hey, weren't you just making some enlightened remark about fracking? Al ============================================================== 'Fracking' Disposal Sites Suspended, Likely Linked To Arkansas Earthquakes Arkansas Earthquakes By SARAH EDDINGTON 03/ 4/11 01:07 PM AP LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Two natural gas companies have agreed to temporarily suspend use of injection wells in central Arkansas where earthquakes keep occurring. Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake Energy and Clarita Operating of Little Rock told the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission on Friday that they've stopped operation of the wells near Greenbrier and Guy pending the panel's next regular meeting on March 29. Clarita's parent company is True Energy Services of Ada, Okla. The commission says there is likely a link between the wells and the earthquakes. There have been more than 800 quakes in the area in the past six months and a magnitude 4.7 quake – the strongest in Arkansas in 35 years – hit there Sunday. The high-pressure wells are used to dispose of waste water from natural gas drilling.
