nostarch, thanks for the heads-up. i see the quake thing in arkansas was, as you indicated, due to salt water disposal wells in faulkner county, arkansas. these would be previous ng wells that are played out, non-producing (as i understand it), and they are now used to inject salt water waste from other drilling sites. the press certainly played this up as something else, like fracing, which it was clearly not. i do think big companies with like chesapeake could have handled this much better by getting a press release out and contacting objective oil/ng reporters in houston or dallas to write what was really going on. i have included a link from march 2011 that give some detail about this, plus the inputs from the tiny company in arkansas that does this type of salt water disposal work. katv.com
