Dart Energy is an exploration and production company in the unconventional gas industry - natural gas extracted from coal beds and shale.

Activities

UK

Dart Energy's 'strategic themes' for the UK:

  • Commercialise significant volumes of already identified CBM resources and supply gas into the National Gas Transmission System ("NTS") and Local Transmission System (“LTS”) pipelines (or other monetisation solutions)
  • Identify prospective shale gas basins across the UK and develop and execute a shale exploration and appraisal program

Coal bed methane at Airth - Midland Valley, Scotland, Midland Valley Basin The Airth project (PEDL 133) covers 330 km2 in the Midland Valley in Scotland, approximately 50 kilometres northwest of Edinburgh near Stirling. It covers a large part of the Clackmannan coal field that was extensively mined in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Extensive exploration and appraisal work has been done to-date and Dart Energy has moved into early development via a small-scale pilot-to-power project during 2012, using gas produced from the Airth-12 well. This well has now been shut in, pending full field development. Full field development is currently underway, with gas supply targeted from late 2014.

Dart says it 'currently' has 'no plan to frack the coals at Airth'.
