Workers need to be careful because that's when oil spills happen. Oil spills can be caused by natural disasters, but most of the time…

Injection induced earthquakes are clearly a reason for concern as they present a seismic hazard. Industrial activity has for a long period of time been a known cause for earthquakes, impoundment of reservoirs,…
