Something else that should be checked is the underlying geology. It could be the fracking is reopening old wounds, so-to-speak, reactivating or accelerating old faults that don't do much any more. The clustering may be along folds and faults even though the drill operations are more evenly spread. Not sure how detailed the geology is known outside of the energy industry.

Well, at least they can't get prosecuted for NOT predicting an earthquake.
