No problem. Excuse me very much for being sick, tired - and put off by all the vicious anger and hostility here.
I did an 'ed. to add' after I saw your edit, btw, and thanked you for clarifying.
The National Research Council‘s list of best practices for drillers and disposal well operators includes investigating any potential disposal site’s history of earthquakes and its proximity to fault lines. Some states, like Ohio, have done just that, and are forbidding any deep injection wells near fault lines.

What caused the 1882 and 1952 quakes?

Those weren't "man made" What's the point here?
Do you disagree with the USGS article shared about the concern?

I don't know how industry is regulated down there. If they are not following NRC's list of best practices then I am concerned. How would I know what zones they are disposing into and what measures are being taken to ensure produced water disposal doesn't end up causing issues. The potential is there for it to happen. In a well regulated industry, the risks are minimal.

As it should be regulated to stop such things.
From articles it seems it's not regulated properly.

It'll be costly, but the industry will look at it as a cost of doing business.
Industry does everything it can to avoid every little "cost of doing business" they can dodge. In any way they can.
