Views on fracking-related earthquakes

Professor Haszeldine warned after Cuadrilla’s operations recorded 17 mini-tremors in October 2018: “The practical significance is not whether these tremors are felt at the surface or not but in the potential to damage the borehole, and the potential to create gas pathways from the shale towards larger faults, towards shallower aquifers, and to the surface.”
