2024 Track Earthquake Swarms In Oklahoma Poem by Terence George Craddock

2024 Track Earthquake Swarms In Oklahoma

observe a recent swarm of earthquakes in Oklahoma
in once no earthquakes few earthquakes Oklahoma
did Big Oil create earthquakes to rock & roll Oklahoma?

slide back down the data trail let science decide?

in 2010 Oklahoma had an insignificant 3 earthquakes
of 3.0 magnitude or higher in an entire year few shakes
then intense drumroll Big Oil injected 1.1 billion barrels

of frack water in the state; oil mouth puppet geologists
sang their no water pollution induced seismicity songs;
but Joe Public decide; were puppet geologists wrong?

in 2014 there were 583 3.0+ earthquakes in Oklahoma
yes Big Oil was big time into the shake rattle and roll industry
Big Oil claimed there was no drill frack water connection

Oil companies can shake rattle safe no boss heads rolling?

induced seismicity is seismic events
usually increased shake rattle earthquakes
possibly even swarms of earthquakes

caused partially or completely by human activities

causation activities include geothermal energy
extraction massive construction mining dam building
hydraulic fracturing depletion or injection of fluids

into subsurface formations

the reaped collateral result is induced seismicity
alters the stresses strains on the Earth's crust
may trigger earthquakes along geologic fault lines

most induced seismicity is of a low magnitude

when it comes to profit Big Oil
who will table accurate data
without twist fast drill for profit

roll forward to April 6 2024 Oklahoma
has had 11 earthquakes in the last 7 days
79 earthquakes in the past 30 days

1,019 earthquakes the past year
anyone that thinks Big Oil did not
create recent earthquake swarms

in Oklahoma has rocks for brains
is drilling brainless IQ test dry wells
remember back in 2010 Oklahoma

had only 3 earthquakes
something is happening
Big Oil states its not us?
