You cannot read this , but you can sure catch the drift.

Good news for the drilling to come in the u.k.

Away on hols, missed carnage, reading & watching in to catch up.
2 points stand out:

1 The govt are now really pushing shale as the house of Lords said they should a yr. ago.

2 Time & again the story about the change in costs & tech speed etc in the USA shales comes to the fore.
The prce fall as ever has led to rapid cost saving innovation.

I-gas will benefit enormously from these sea changes

blah blah blah.....market underwhelmed about the news.

Those who bought in prior to announcement on expectation of share price appreciation now leaving the party.

Ellesmere Port Drilling Results... anything to report??

UK Energy Minister Lord Bourne said:

“As part of our long-term plan to build a more resilient economy, create jobs and deliver secure energy supplies, we continue to back our onshore oil and gas industry and the safe development of shale gas in the UK. This is why the OGA has moved quickly to confirm the winners of licence blocks which do not need further environmental assessment.

“Keeping the lights on and powering the economy is not negotiable, and these industries will play a key part in providing secure and reliable energy to UK homes and businesses for decades to come.

“It’s important we press on and get shale moving, while maintaining strong environmental controls. Investment in shale could reach £33 billion and support 64,000 jobs creating financial security for hardworking people and their families, whilst providing a cost-efficient bridge to lower-carbon energy use.”

No energy being produced by solar and wind today in Cumbria despite having one of the largest wind farms in the country.

Low cloud dull and pouring down on a totally windless day. Again. Just another normal low temp dark day there

Nice rise today after government give the thumbs up to fast tracking fracking.
Nice piece in the Daily Mail.

'Underpinning all this is the issue of planning. We can’t continue with a system that sees applications dragged out for months, or even years on end, which doesn’t give certainty to industry and which could spell the end of a potentially vital national industry. We need a system that delivers timely planning decisions. A system that works effectively for local people and developers. As part of this work the Government will be writing to planning authorities this week to make clear that there is a national need to explore shale in a safe, sustainable and timely way to help meet our objectives for secure energy supplies, economic growth and lower carbon emissions.'

Having a bag full of licenses is no guarantee of approval to move on as we have found out

thanks backinblack. that visit could be the prelude to the 14th licensing round announcement, which is due.

A gas firm has applied for planning permission to drill monitoring boreholes in Nottinghamshire linked to exploratory shale gas drilling.
Island Gas Limited wants to install the boreholes off Springs Road, near Misson, to monitor groundwater.
Any shale gas drilling would require a separate application.
Nottinghamshire County Council said methane levels in the water would be checked for 12 months before any fracking could start.
The drilling would be undertaken over two weeks in several locations, and would take place between 07:00 and 19:00 BST. No drilling would occur at weekends or on bank holidays.
'Back clean energy'
Sally Gill, planning manager for the council, said: "The Infrastructure Act 2015 includes a requirement for the level of methane in groundwater to be monitored for a period of 12 months before any associated hydraulic fracturing, which would require a separate planning application, can begin.
"The proposed development would assist IGas in collecting the necessary monitoring information."
Friends of the Earth campaigner Donna Hume, said: "The government should throw its weight behind the UK's huge clean energy potential, which is far more popular with the public, and give David Cameron a much-needed credibility boost ahead of this year's climate talks in Paris."
In July, Lancashire County Council refused permission by shale gas firm Cuadrilla to drill and frack at two sites in the county.
Fracking - or hydraulic fracturing - was suspended in the UK in 2011 following earth tremors in Blackpool, where Cuadrilla previously drilled.
It is a technique in which water and chemicals are pumped into shale rock at high pressure to extract gas.

14th Licensing round.....

The announcement of the results of the 14th licensing round will be in two tranches. We plan to announce the first tranche of awards in August and the second tranche later in the year. The first tranche will be for those licence blocks that have been screened out as not requiring further environmental assessment under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010. For the remaining blocks, which do require assessment under those Regulations, we will be launching a consultation, also in August. Subject to that consultation, a second tranche of awards will be announced later in the year. Details of the awards, when made, will be posted here.
