Fracking

Report from David Burley and Frack Free South Yorkshire:

No word from iGas yet on a planning application in Bassetlaw. They are now almost six months late announcing the proposed well pad location. iGas shares now 76% below January high - at their lowest since 2009.

The Frack Free South Yorkshire street survey has been completed. Just over 83% of households have responded. Results will be release later.

Egdon Resources has announced that it will explore for shale gas in the far eastern part of South Yorkshire in the second half of 2015; perhaps somewhere around Hatfield, avoiding the Hatfield underground gas store.
