Shale gas firm finds 'vast' gas resources in Lancashire
Combined with oil in the Falklands perhaps things won't be too bad after all?An energy firm which has been test drilling for controversial "shale gas" in Lancashire has said it has found vast gas resources underground.
Cuadrilla Resources began testing for gas on the Fylde Coast in March, using a technique known as "fracking".
It said it had found 200 trillion cubic feet of gas under the ground, which if recovered could provide 5,600 jobs in the UK, 1,700 of those in Lancashire.

...and to think, I always blamed the smell on the effects of Boddingtons on the sub-human body.

So, a TA battalion or nine Regular Guards battalions? Not a difficult choice, then (especially as we don't have nine Regular Guards battalions).

Hmmm-shale drilling is argued as being extremely dangerous. Then we find shit loads of it...

interesting one this, i remember it on the news not long ago. i'm sure i read or seen that as the septics had to stop drilling they were looking into the fylde coast drilling.
will be a shame to destroy such a beautiful part of the world though.
who knows if the yanks dont get there own way we might have an invasion !!!

The thing with Shale gas is we are far from alone in having vast reserves, hence I don't think there is as much money in it as could otherwise be expected.
Still 200 trillion cubic feet is quite a find, and hopefully it will go some way to bringing this country a decent new income (If we choose to properly exploit it)

i stand by what i said-the yanks are gonna be in the back ground with a beady eye.
how do you properly exploit it without possibly causing earth movements?
mind you blackpool would look better levelled !!!3_Peco_Seconds_GO and Sinner251 like this.

Good news- Lots of gas.
Bad news- The industry in the US has a really bad reputation at the moment- Lots of shoddy, cocked up wells that let methane leak up into the local water supplies-and lots of questions over exactly what chemical cocktails are being pumped into the water table to force the gas out.
And there were a couple of 'coincidental' earthquakes near the Lancashire test site.I am not the official representative of the Digital Outreach Team from the House of Commons; we are politically impractical and cannot comment on government policy or give a political opinion.-'cos they haven't made up their minds yet.
