Sure, there's some planned.

But there's morons in Louisiana already blaming these recent quakes on CO2 capture/sequestration when there's not a single operating facility anywhere remotely close.

Almost like the planet does its own thing and we just happen to live on it who would have thought.

That’s easy to say but hard to prove.

Something to do with the dinosaur fossils, they are stuck between the fault lines and as they erode, they move and that causes things to move around there.


Stop. It's fracking. They are doing it legit every where up here. They had some bozo on the news last night trying to explain away why it wasn't fracking and it was kind of comical.

I am located closer to the river and according to the flood maps, if the levee breaks, all the water would go towards the intercoastal so while there would still be some damage I will not get the worst of it so.. And I am sure there will be a few bodies left behind as it goes to the lowest point.

I missed that context. I agree completely.

There's definitely a hill on College just north of I-10 and it's out of place otherwise. That's probably it.

Ya''l are Paranoid - T Boone

“I’m going to ask you about wastewater injection wells and the rise of earthquakes in Oklahoma. Because we depend so much on energy in Oklahoma — jobs, economy, private economy, state economy — how do we walk this tightrope?”

Pickens scoffed at Ogle: “All these earthquakes, huh?”
“Oklahoma’s the earthquake capital of America right now!” Ogle replied. “What do we do to make sure … ”

Pickens dismissively waved his hand. He joked that he evidently still has work to do in educating the public.

“I need to come up here and do some work,” he said. The audience, many of them in the energy industry themselves, roared.

“What’s happened is that we’re monitoring (seismic activity) closer,” Pickens said

There's faults that run through Baton Rouge...

Highland Road runs along one. That's why there's a sudden dropoff.

I know there's something that runs through Old Jefferson; years ago my brother looked at a house when he was moving up from Nola. This was a nice place, but significantly under the market out there. We went and looked, there was a crack in the foundation that had been shifting. You could see it affect the brick walls, and the interior. On a whim, he checked faultlines somewhere (I don't remember where, but it was a legit place), and the house was built on one. So there was no fixing that house ever, it was always going to shift slightly right at that spot.
Just poor dumb luck on the builder's part.

He didn't buy it, obviously.

Those fault lines across South Louisiana are concerning.That’s the area where a large number of CO2 sequestration wells are planned.
Exxon recently started pumping CO2 in a sequestration well in Gillis,end of February.

And then some.



The BR fault is to the South and the Denham Springs-Scotlandville fault is to the North.

This is taken from a study performed in 1981.
