  In response to a 5.1 magnitude earthquake felt in multiple states last Friday, the Oklahoma Corporation Commission ordered all oil and natural gas wastewater disposal wells within 10 miles of the earthquake's epicenter to shut down by Feb. 17. New directives could follow if deemed necessary, the commission said.
  
  All disposal wells that are permitted to dispose into the Arbuckle Formation and are in an area within 10 miles of the February 3, 2024, 5.1 magnitude earthquake are directed to begin the shutdown of operations, with a shutdown to be complete by February 17. The gradual shutdown process is necessary to avoid sudden pressure changes that could result in more seismic activity.
