While earthquake activity coincided with a large increase in oil and gas production in West Texas, the study does not try to link the two. "What remained uncertain is when the earthquakes actually started. "West Texas now has the highest seismicity rates in the state," co-author and Southern Methodist University Associate Professor Heather DeShon said in a written statement. The scientists used an earthquake monitoring system that was "some distance" from Pecos but sensitive enough to pick up vibrations 150 miles away. The scientists documented more than 7,000 earthquakes near Pecos starting in 2009, most of them so small that no one felt them. The study, which was published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, tracked nearly 20 years of seismic activity. The Texas Tribune reports west Texas has seen a dramatic increase in earthquakes, jumping from 19 in 2009 to 1,600 in 2017 alone, according to a study published by the University of Texas at Austin. West Texas reports more earthquakes than any other part of the state. Residents tweeted near Odessa that they felt the quake, but didn't report any damage. One was measured at 2.5 magnitude and the other was 2.6, just hours apart. Basic Connections, Perimeter, and Lateral Splay Bracing.
