| New Study: Fracking earthquakes can cause OTHER wells to fractureleaking gas as result Dutchsinse 10/21/2015 by Michael Janitch |
Super-Fractures is now a viable term to use to describe how frack quakes can cause additional earthquake activity.
A “super fracture” is a term I created to describe the process of a fracking earthquake causing fractures in OTHER well casements, causing leaking of high pressure gas, which then causes more movement to hit the operation within days or weeks after the initial seismic unrest.
Like dominoes, one earthquake causes a cascade of other earthquakes, as the well casements crack under the unexpected seismic stress, the gas escapes along with high pressure wastewater into the shale, causing additional seismic events to take place at other nearby wells.
In other words, fracking earthquakes cause leaks in other nearby wells, which then causes more earthquakes in an ongoing cycle.
Now, professionals release a new study confirming that the aforementioned is an accurate assessment of what is occurring.
Ironically, methane leakage was a topic of discussion in my most recent earthquake forecast. See the forecast here:

Additionally, I did a whole video on the methane leakage caused by fracking earthquakes / cracks in casements after earthquakes.

Fracking can cause nearby abandoned wells to leak methane: study
“BOSTON (Reuters) – Hydraulic fracturing can cause nearby abandoned oil wells to leak methane, according to a study published on Tuesday in the peer-reviewed Water Resources Research journal, marking a potentially large source of unrecorded greenhouse gas emissions.
Researchers at the University of Vermont examined a part of New York state overlying the Marcellus shale gas reservoir to determine the chances that a newly fracked well there would intersect one of the state’s thousands of existing wellbores.
“Average probability estimates for the entire region of New York underlain by the Marcellus Shale range from 0.00 percent to 3.45 percent,” according to the study, which suggested the results held broader national implications.
It said oil and gas companies could reduce the probability of triggering methane leaks by seeking to identify the locations of abandoned wells before any new fracking, a potentially daunting task given the large number of unmarked abandoned wells across the country.
New York banned fracking earlier this year, citing concerns that the technology could cause water and air pollution. Fracking involves injecting water, sand and chemicals deep underground to break up rock formations.
Researchers at Princeton University last year published a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that showed abandoned wells in nearby Pennsylvania were emitting an average of 0.27 kg (0.6 lb) of methane per day. But that study did not outline what might be causing the leaks.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in August proposed new standards to cut greenhouse gas emissions and smog-forming pollutants from oil and gas facilities as part of President Barack Obama’s broader strategy to slash methane emissions in the energy sector over 10 years. [nL1N10T14U]
Methane warms the climate at least 80 times more than the same amount of carbon dioxide, the most prevalent greenhouse gas, over a 20-year period.”
