Common sense ?
Permian basin should be one of the most stable places in the world
here’s satellite view of 100 fracking pads surrounding the site

Thats not how geology works
Simply because its got relatively thick rock deposits doesnt make it more or less stable than anywhere else.
It IS plausible that fracking contributed to or caused the quake, but your supposed evidence is not evidence.
Counterpoint. Fault lines feature some exceptionally thick rock, frequently called mountains, this does not make them impervious to quakesTrucker61016, Lab_Rat_Logistics, Tb0n3 and 1 other person Thank this. -
The mountains are literally made because there’s a fault line there. In know Seismic zones with volcanos
where’s the fault line in midland?
Yeah earthquakes can happen anywhere,
But somewhere like midland, tx they should be very rare yet they continue to happenLast edited: Dec 29, 2021
