wastewater disposal process done after natural gas extraction — and not
the drilling itself — is a plausible cause for the surprising series of
minor earthquakes in north Texas, according to a study released Wednesday.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Corbel","sans-serif"'>The
first quakes occurred in October 2008 in Grand Prairie and Irving, and seismic
equipment detected 11 more in the area over the next couple of months that were
too small to be felt, according to the study by the University of Texas and
Southern Methodist University. No major injuries or damage were reported in any
of the events that set off car alarms and knocked pictures off walls —
the largest being a 3.3-magnitude quake near Euless last spring.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
