PAWNEE, Okla. — A record-tying earthquake in the edge of Oklahoma's key energy-producing areas rattled the Midwest from Nebraska to North Texas on Saturday, and likely will bring fresh attention to the practice of disposing oil and gas field wastewater deep underground.
The United States Geological Survey said a 5.6 magnitude earthquake happened at 7:02 a.m. CT (8:02 a.m. ET) Saturday in north-central Oklahoma, on the fringe of an area where regulators had stepped in to limit wastewater disposal. That temblor matches a November 2011 quake in the same region.
Saturday's quake was centered about 9 miles northwest of Pawnee, Oklahoma. Earlier this week, the same spot, which is about 70 miles northeast of Oklahoma City, saw a magnitude 3.2 temblor.

In rural Pawnee County, three homes were damaged and one homeowner suffered minor injuries and was treated at the hospital, tweeted Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin.
The Oklahoma Corporation Commission directed dozens of wastewater disposal wells within an approximate 500-square-mile radius of the epicenter to shut down as a precaution.
