UPI: British shale gas plans progressing

Two environmental statements on shale gas exploration in Lancashire are the most comprehensive ever completed for the site, the CEO at Cuadrilla Resources said.

Cuadrilla said it deposited 21 chapters of environmental studies with the Lancashire County Council associated with plans for up to four shale gas exploration wells.

CEO Francis Egan said the independent study incorporated feedback from its applications for exploration as much as reasonably possible.

"The end result is probably the two most comprehensive Environmental Statements ever completed for proposed shale gas exploration sites," he said in a statement.
