I used to live on Cape Cod. The Vineyard Gazette published this news from its board minutes and it’s gone viral. Prepare for lights out folks!

The THEORY is that when you remove a dense substance, such as crude oil, from shale or other porous rocks, you weaken the structures. Thus, the ever present tectonic pressures, which were held in check by hydrodynamic forces (ie. crude in shale or other permeable rock), has to go somewhere. Thus, removing the crude (again, temporarily - as the earth will regenerate this) creates weak spots, which may result in tremors.
The caveat is that most of these tremors are located far below where the crude is located, which weakens that theory.
