Look Back at Experimental Injection Wells at Rangely in 1969

News Link
An interesting story about 2 USGS researchers looking for a method to induce small earthquakes to relieve pressure and prevent "the big one". What they found is high pressure injection wells can induce lots of earthquakes.  The higher the pressure, the more quakes. Turn the injection wells off and the earthquakes go away.
