  • Seismicity at Newdigate, Surrey, During 2018-2019: a Candidate Mechanism Indicating Causation by Nearby Oil Production
    Seismicity at Newdigate, Surrey, during 2018-2019: A candidate mechanism indicating causation by nearby oil production Rob Westaway, James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK [email protected] Supplementary material Contents: Page 1 Section 1: Reporting of activities in the Brockham and Horse Hill wells Page 7 Section 2: Geo-location issues Page 12 Section 3: State of stress Page 14 Section 4. The Davis and Frohlich criteria for anthropogenic seismicity 1..Reporting of activities in the Brockham and Horse Hill wells As is evident from the extensive media coverage (e.g., BBC, 2018; Hayhurst, 2018; McLennan, 2019), from the outset, on 1 April 2018, a potential connection between the ‘swarm’ of earthquakes in the Newdigate area of Surrey and local oilfield activities (in the nearby Brockham and Horse Hill wells) was immediately suspected, but was dismissed by one developer (Hayhurst, 2018). Concerns about the possibility that activities in these wells were indeed causing these earthquakes were raised through correspondence in The Times newspaper in August 2018 (Gilfillan et al., 2018). A workshop, convened by the Oil & Gas Authority (OGA), followed on 3 October 2018, a summary of its proceedings being reported by OGA (2018), including the statement that ‘the workshop participants concluded that, based on the evidence presented, there was no causal link between the seismic events and oil and gas activity although one participant was less certain and felt that this could only be concluded on “the balance of probabilities” and would have liked to see more detailed data on recent oil and gas surface and subsurface activity.’ The workshop presentations included a candidate conceptual model linking the seismicity to site activity, by Haszeldine and Cavanagh (2018), which – its authors admitted – could not be tested at that stage because essential data needed were unavailable.

  • About Epsom Salts (Mgso4·7H2O)
    About Epsom Salts (MgSO4·7H2O) Magnesium is the second-most abundant element in human cells and the fourth-most important positively charged ion in the body, so it's little wonder this low-profile mineral is so vital to good health and well being. Magnesium, a major component of Epsom Salt, also helps to regulate the activity of more than 325 enzymes and performs a vital role in orchestrating many bodily functions, from muscle control and electrical impulses to energy production and the elimination of harmful toxins. The National Academy of Sciences, however, reports that most Americans are magnesium deficient, helping to account for our society's high rate of heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, arthritis and joint pain, digestive maladies and stress-related illnesses, chronic fatigue and a host of other ailments. The Academy estimates the average American male gets just 80% of the magnesium required for good health, while females get only 70% of their recommended levels. Nutritionists say Americans' magnesium levels have dropped more than 50% in the past century. Better health through soaking Magnesium can be ingested as a nutritional supplement, but studies show that a wide variety of factors - the presence of specific foods or drugs, certain medical conditions, even the individual chemistry of a person's stomach acid - can interfere with their effectiveness. But all of the subjects in a recent study experienced increased magnesium levels from soaking in a bath enriched with magnesium sulfate crystals, commonly known as Epsom Salt. Researchers and physicians report that raising your magnesium levels may: Improve heart and circulatory health, reducing irregular heartbeats, preventing hardening of the arteries, reducing blood clots and lowering blood pressure.
