UK's Cuadrilla says begins gas fracking in Lancashire
10/15/2018
LONDON, (Reuters) - British shale gas company Cuadrilla has begun hydraulic fracking for natural gas at its Preston New Road site in Lancashire, northwest England, it said.
The company will spend at least three months fracking two horizontal wells — which involves injecting sand, water and chemicals to split tightly packed shale rock and extract gas — to test gas flow rates at the site, it said in a statement.
