There is a fault that starts @ north-central Red River parish and runs southwest into De Soto parish. That's probably where the quakes are generating from. There are also several faults in Caddo and Bossier parishes.

The fluid that is injected at depth is sometimes hydraulically connected to faults. When this happens, fluid pressures increase within the fault, counteracting the frictional forces on faults. This makes earthquakes more likely to occur on them.


I think somebody mentioned this earlier. Makes sense.
