At 8:57 a.m. precisely, this Monday morning, a tremor with a magnitude of 3.2 was recorded near Orthez, near the Lacq basin.
The information was disseminated by Renass, the national seismic monitoring network, which provides real-time information on the events recorded by the stations of the French seismological and geodetic network.
This slight earthquake is described by the network as "induced", that is to say that it is to be linked to industrial exploitation in the Lacq basin and in particular to gas extraction.
Quakes of this type are regularly recorded in this sector.
