Earthquakes that occurred near an oil extraction site in Surrey, UK, in 2018 and 2019 had been put down to coincidence, but a new analysis with an updated look at the geology of the area suggests the

More than 100 earthquakes that damaged households across Surrey were likely caused by fracking, according to a landmark study by the University College London (UCL).

Over 100 small earthquakes in Surrey might have been caused by oil drilling nearby, according to UCL research. The study, which involved extensive simulations, points to a probable link between seismic activity and the pressures of oil extraction.

A series of more than 100 small earthquakes in Surrey in 2018 and 2019 might have been triggered by oil extraction from a nearby well, suggests a new study by UCL researchers.
