State responds to Okla. earthquakes

The Oklahoma Corporation Commission’s Oil and Gas Conservation Division (OGCD) is continuing its evolving response to earthquake activity in the Medford and Cherokee areas. The latest step is implementation of plans for the Byron/Cherokee area and for the Medford area. As with previous steps, the plans call for changes to oil and gas wastewater disposal wells in the area that dispose into the Arbuckle formation. Additional steps can be expected depending on earthquake activity.
