FAIRVIEW, Okla. (AP) — The U.S. Geological Survey has recorded a 4.3 magnitude earthquake near Fairview in northwestern Oklahoma, about 60 miles south of the Kansas state line.
The quake was recorded at 3:45 a.m. Sunday, 18 miles northwest of Fairview — about 155 miles northwest of Oklahoma City.
Fairview police say there are no reports of injury or damage.
A recent paper by the Geological Survey singled out Oklahoma, concluding that quakes are induced by injecting deep into the earth massive amounts of wastewater that are the byproduct of oil and gas production.
