Most earthquakes in the state have been small or have produced minimal impacts. No earthquake-related fatalities have been reported in the state, though one earthquake in Texas caused a death in the neighboring Mexican state of Chihuahua in 1923. The earliest recorded earthquake in Texas occurred near Seguin and New Braunfels on February 13 ...
[14] [15] It appears that earthquake shaking from induced earthquakes may be similar to that observed in natural tectonic earthquakes, [16] [17] or may have higher shaking at shorter distances. [18] This means that ground-motion models derived from recordings of natural earthquakes, which are often more numerous in strong-motion databases [ 19 ...
A study on possible correlation between large nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site and earthquakes hundreds of kilometers away in California found no peaks in seismicity at the times of the explosions. [4] The 1968 one-megaton underground nuclear test Faultless, caused clearly visible surface slip up to 40 km away. [3]
The US Geological Survey recently mapped all the places that are most likely to be damaged by human-induced earthquakes in 2016. These 6 states are the most at risk of a human-caused earthquake ...
A report released Monday by the USGS found that man-made earthquakes have increased more than ten times over in parts of the central United States. 7 million Americans at risk from man-made ...
The Texas Railroad Commission (RRC) regulator has grappled with leaks and blowouts from orphan wells, as well as earthquakes, triggered by higher pressure underground from water injection.

In 2016, Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij funded a team of researchers from Durham University and Newcastle University to conduct a full review of induced seismicity. This review formed part of a scientific workshop aimed at estimating the maximum possible magnitude earthquake that might be induced by conventional gas production in the Groningen gas field.
