UK regulator gave permission for the production of shale gas

British regulator announced the granting of licenses to British companies for shale gas production in the 27 new sites in England. "Ads for the possibility of granting permits for drilling entitles companies hope that by the end of the year they will be able to obtain official licenses," said executive director Andy Samuel regulator. Additional 132 area is now under consideration.

 

Such a move would legitimize the technology of hydraulic fracturing, which is in its infancy in the country. Also, it will create more jobs and contribute to the economic development of the energy sector of the country, said UK Energy Minister Lord Bouern.

 

"As part of our long-term plan to create a more flexible economy, jobs and reliable energy supply, we continue to support our oil and gas industry and safe development of oil shale industry of Great Britain. That is why the regulator quickly determined the winners of shale sites that do not require environmental impact assessment ", stressed the Minister of Energy.
