Fracking pioneers win early go-ahead

A NEW round of onshore oil and gas exploration licences will be granted within weeks after energy secretary Amber Rudd decided to award them in two stages to speed up the development of fracking.

The fledgling industry has suffered a series of setbacks, including Lancashire county council’s rejection last month of a fracking application by Cuadrilla Resources.

The government wants to give renewed impetus to the technology, which it says could generate billions in tax revenues, create thousands of jobs and stoke a new era of cheap domestic energy.

It will now grant some licences from the 14th onshore round, which was launched last year, and delay others that require additional environmental checks. The process attracted 95 applications for 295 blocks.

People who live in fracking zones appear to suffer a higher rate of heart conditions and neurological illnesses, according to new research.

Although the US study was unable to determine a specific reason, it suggests there may be a link between drilling and ill health, scientists said.

Residents in high-density areas of fracking made 27 per cent more hospital visits for treatment for heart conditions than those from locations where no fracking took place, according to a new study of drilling in Pennsylvania between 2007 and 2011.

“This study captured the collective response of residents to hydraulic fracturing in zip codes within counties with higher well densities,” said Reynold Panettieri, professor of medicine at Penn University.

“At this point, we suspect that residents are exposed to many toxicants, noise and social stressors due to hydraulic fracturing near their homes and this may add to the increased number of hospitalisations.”

The findings revealed that cardiology and neurological in-patient prevalence rates were significantly higher in areas closer to active wells. Hospitalisations for skin conditions, cancer and urological problems also increased with proximity to wells.

Prof Panettieri cautioned that the study did not prove that fracking actually caused the health problems and said more research was needed to determine exactly what effect any pollution associated with the technique may be contributing to heart conditions or neurological illnesses.

But the significant increase in hospital visits observed relatively quickly after fracking began in an area “suggests that healthcare costs of hydraulic fracturing must be factored into the economic benefits of unconventional gas and drilling”, said the report, which is published in the journal PLOS One and also involved Columbia University in New York.

The highly controversial technique of fracking, that releases oil or gas from shale by blasting a mixture of water, chemicals and sand into rock, is yet to be employed in the UK on a commercial scale. It is widespread in the US, however, where it has frequently been linked to groundwater and air pollution.

Yet a series of reports in the UK have concluded that the problems arising from fracking in the US are down to weak regulations and poor techniques. Advocates say that any fracking in the UK would be done safely, meaning residents will be shielded from the difficulties experienced by locals in the US.

But opponents of fracking – including the Scottish and Welsh Governments – argue that still far too little is known about the effects of the technique, and say more research needs to be done before it is deployed in the UK.

This latest report will be seen as further evidence that more research needs to be conducted before fracking is allowed in the UK – even though it does not get to the bottom of the causes of the health problems.

FROM THE DAILY EXPRESS - 17/7/15




The Government looks set to grant licenses for energy companies to explore up to 65 per cent of rural Britain in the search for underground natural gas.

That could see millions of people living in and around drilling sites lose up to 30 per cent off the value of their homes, including some of the country's best known celebrities.

Fracking is a hugely controversial technique for extracting natural gas from under the ground. Critics have warned that the drilling destabilises the Earth and causes tremors and subsidence, which could damage people's homes for miles around.

There have been reports of potential buyers pulling out of deals after discovering that fracking could take place nearby.

Despite this, the Government has granted exploration and drilling licenses to fracking companies near some of Britain's most exclusive neighbourhoods and best-loved beauty spots.

A leading property expert has warned that if property prices slump by just two per cent in areas earmarked for drilling, the total cost to the UK economy would be £75 billion.

However, others have previously raised fears that prices could plummet by as much as 30 per cent - the same drop homeowners living near the proposed HS2 railway line have had to endure.

If even just five per cent was wiped off house prices in affected areas, the toll would be a staggering £287.5 billion loss in value

Double page profile on Ratcliffe in the London Evening Standard yesterday too, so I do wonder if a positive spin is being introduced by subtle means.

Pleasant change from the usual Celebrity Claptrap normally pedalled....

Talks of large ships constructed specifically for the import of Gas,almost as a stop gap enterprise, but further down the line a reliance on home extracted gas from shale.

Subtle.....
