True, there is a reason that oil companies inject  water back into the void
they create, maybe I'm incorrect in assuming this is the reason, I'm sure
that they wouldn't waste the monies involved if not needed. On a slightly
different subject the 3 gorges damn on the Yangtze river is already
suspected of causing minor earth tremors by it's sheer weight and it's not
even 1/2 completed. The damn also straddles two known seismic faults. This
could only prove disastrous.
Thank you for your input, Ferret
