A 4.0-magnitude earthquake was recorded in central Oklahoma

Carney, Oklahoma. – A 4.0-magnitude earthquake was among a series of six tremors to hit central Oklahoma Thursday morning, according to the USGS.

No injuries or major damage were reported in the aftermath of the quakes, which also included a 3.3-magnitude earthquake and began early Thursday near the town of Carney, about 40 miles northeast of Oklahoma City.

Other quakes ranged in magnitude from 1.6 to 2.3, according to the USGS.

“I know the earthquake was definitely felt here because I had a lot of phone calls early this morning,” said spokesman Don Jones of Stillwater, about 25 miles northeast of the epicenter.

Jones said no damage or injuries were reported in the city, or on the Oklahoma State University campus, according to Oklahoma State University spokesperson Shannon Rigsby.

Thousands of earthquakes of varying magnitude have been recorded in Oklahoma over the past decade and have been linked to oil and gas production, particularly underground injection of wastewater, a by-product of oil and gas production.

The Oklahoma Corporation Commission, which regulates the state’s oil and gas industry, is sending inspectors to investigate 15 injection wells, according to spokesman Matt Skinner.

“We’ve identified wells that might be suspicious and will review them” for both the volume of wastewater being injected and the pressure used to inject the fluid, Skinner said.

The authority had previously directed oil and gas producers to close some injection wells and reduce volumes in others to reduce the chance of earthquakes.
