Series of earthquakes shake Permian Basin in recent weeks

A series of three earthquakes hit the Permian Basin along the oil and natural gas-rich lands along the Pecos and Reeves county lines over the past two weeks, according to data from the U.S. Geological Survey.

USGS data shows that the first one was a 2.8-magnitude earthquake recorded off U.S. Highway 285 and Mendel Road just northwest of Fort Stockton around 1 a.m. on March 21.
