UK goes full speed ahead on shale gas fracking.

The drones will be already circling!
Yep, just another sign of the insanity which is sweeping our country.

First job I had as a roustie on a semi sub, we were oil fracking 5 miles from the Thistle Alpha platform
That was in 1980
"Hydraulic Cracking" was standard practice then as platform design for the deep water, cold environment above the 61st parallel was new and pretty hit and miss in terms of what actually worked - thistle itself was corroding away at 5 times the predicted rate - we needed the oil out fast before the platform fell into the sea
We also regularly stuffed dynamite down the hole to further break up the reservoir rock structure and release the oil faster
Some of the stuff we put down the hole would also cause skin blistering if you were daft enough to get it on you
It has ALWAYS been a dirty and dangerous business
In the year and half I was on that rig and we worked that well, 3 men died and many more were permanently injured

It's certainly one of the stress testing scenarios considered as part of risk planning. An "emerging risk", to give it the proper context.

wayhay ...just bend over and take it up the arse ..plebs
So to avoid PP issues ......
A test drill can be microfracked multiple times to see if viable for industrial scale fracking ....but fracking doesn't have to be mentioned on the PP application for the test or it even classed as a fracked casement if not viable after ..
Any failed pipe train (a significant number do , during construction or during early stages , such as in blackpool ) will also be exempt from further safety inspection of casement integrity and capping seal as its not classed as a fracked pipe train even though it has taken place .....
Incidentally ...a UK road tanker maxes out at 38000 litres = 38cu mtrs so 263 HGV tankers worth of chemicals and water can be delivered to the site for fracking test runs ....
and it still won't be considered a fracked well .......yet its about 2/3 by volume of a production fracked well pumped down
feckin genius
A fully fracked well (single) in the UK from the Roseacre wood planning application
Weeks 1 to 8
and if viable ..90 day production test and estimated 9 years extraction
Note ...this is one well on a pad and only one frack
wells will be fracked multiple times (8~10)
...and its diminishing returns ...later fracks require more water, proppants and chemicals .....
The UK (read that the north of England mostly ) ....is being targeted for 60 well pads to reduce pad density
there's tidy for you

Scumbag Ratcliffe and INEOS "declare war" on environmentalists. Prepare for well funded lying propaganda campaign, dirty tricks as seen in Grangemouth dispute and mobilisation of ranting drivellers like Delingpole and Lawson. Ineos declares war on "scaremongering" green lobby over fracking claims

Well this is going to stir it up
Up to £20,000 payments made to homeowners who live near the well pads ....
Not sure if the payment zone will include the whole of the fracked area.....just what's visible on the surface....
This is going to set neighbour against neighbour....rather than communities against the companies
As I'm sure some will bite...( Landlords who don't live there)
Really divisive

Well, I never saw this coming so soon - still checking it’s not a spoof! GE sweetener?
Fracking banned in UK as government makes major U-turn

Only a moratorium, mind. But yeah, clearly related to the GE.
