Igas Energy Ltd is the largest independent oil and gas explorer and developer in Britain, with licences for shale gas exploration. It produces approximately 3,000 barrels of oil and gas a day from over 110 sites across the country.
In the year to 31 March 2013, IGas produced over 901,000 barrels and achieved £68.3 million in revenue. [1]
In May 2014 IGas negotiated a deal to buy rival Dart Energy which holds licences to produce gas from coal seams in Scotland. The deal worth £120 million, will make IGas the UK's biggest shale gas explorer.

- The Doe Green pilot Coal Bed Methane (“CBM”) site continues to produce gas and generate electricity. All three production wells, each of which is testing a separate seam, demonstrate that gas is flowing from the seams. [2]
Licences
IGas has a petroleum exploration and development licence (PEDL) for the Gainsborough area, but has yet to drill any wells or apply for permission to start fracking in the East Midlands.
