I don't know anything about it other than fracking has caused a wild amount of earthquakes all over Oklahoma. That's my only guess.

I haven't noticed any reports of earthquakes in Texas. Have there been? If there hasn't, what's the difference? Doesn't Texas have a lot more Fracking operations than Oklahoma?

Fracking isn't the reason for the earthquakes...it's the injection wells for the brine disposal produced from fracking. The fracking itself is not the cause, a byproduct being reinjected is.

There have been earthquakes reported all over West Texas mainly in the Delaware from injection wells. Texas RRC has a couple of Seismic Response Areas under surveillance and all the injection wells are either shut in or curtailed to how much they can inject.

That was salt water injection. Not fracking. Once OK banned salt water injection their prevalence of earth quakes dropped from north of 400 a year to south of 100.
