Gainsborough Standard: Gainsborough: More fracking sites possible

IGas Energy Plc, the UK’s leading onshore oil and gas exploration, are looking for more areas in and around Gainsborough for fracking.

IGas has taken initial steps to find out if it is worth applying for permission to undertake test drilling in the area. The drilling would be to take rock samples to find out more about the amount of gas which might be underground.

IGas have been drilling for gas and oil in Gainsborough and Beckingham for more than 30 years and already have more than 40 operational wells.

IGas are holding a public consultation tomorrow (Wednesday 16th July) at The Mayflower Bar and Eatery in High Street, Austerfield, Doncaster between 3pm and 8pm to allow residents to learn more about how onshore drilling works.
