Potentially induced earthquakes in Oklahoma, USA: Links between wastewater injection and the 2011 Mw 5.7 earthquake sequence
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the largest earthquake potentially related to injection, an Mw 5.7 earthquake in November 2011 in Oklahoma, and show that the tip of the initial rupture plane is within ∼200 m of active injection wells and within ∼1 km of the surface; 30% of early aftershocks occur within the sedimentary section.
