Just for sharing and information:
This is ONE of the BIGGEST problems we face in the North of the Netherlands at this moment in time...
-DUTCH DISASTER IN SLOW MOTION-
...
Groningen has been one of Europe’s richest gas fields for 30 years, and thousands of people say their homes have been damaged by the tremors that drilling sets off and nobody (in our government) does a thing about it!
Earthquakes as a result of gas extraction occur just below the surface of the earth. A shallow “gas quake” has a lot more impact than a natural earthquake of the same magnitude 20 to 100 km deep.
February 19th, 1997
2nd big quake, in Roswinkel, 3.4 Richter scale / 3 km depth
August 8th, 2006
3rd big quake: triangle Middelstum, Stedum, Westeremden, 3.5 Richter scale / 3 km depth
August 16th, 2012
Huizinge 3.6 Richter scale / 3 km depth
(Smaller earthquakes increasing)

Also in the rest of the EU things will change in the following years.
German Government Votes to Ban Internal Combustion Engines by 2030

...
2030 all appliances using natural GAS will be replaced with "green" solar, wind, battery or fuel cell electric power. This will be too late saving the North of the Netherlands from preventing damage from earthquakes maintaining long after they extracted gas!
So there is not much time left to figure out other "fuels sources" (for example) Stanley Meyers EP process and continue using gas (Hydrogen) on demand and (Hydrogen) gas combustion-engines etc.
