Moschetti, M.P., Rennolet, S.B., Thompson, E.M., and Yeck, W.L., 2017, A database of instrumentally recorded ground motion intensity measurements from induced earthquakes in Oklahoma and Kansas (ver. 1.1, December 2017): U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/F73B5X8N.
Summary
The database contains uniformly processed ground motion intensity measurements (peak horizontal ground motions and 5-percent-damped pseudospectral accelerations for oscillator periods 0.1–10 s). The earthquake event set includes more than 3,800 M≥3 earthquakes in Oklahoma and Kansas from January 2009 to December 2016. Ground motion time series were collected out to 500 km. We also relocated the majority of the earthquake hypocenters using a multiple-event relocation algorithm to produce a set of near-uniformly processed hypocentral locations. Details about data processing are reported in the accompanying article. First posted - October 11, 2017 Revised - December 18, 2017, ver. 1.1

We anticipate that this dataset will be of benefit for those investigating ground motions from induced earthquakes, for development of ground motion models, and for assessment of seismic hazard forecasts.
