Egdon Resources (UK) Ltd is an independent Aim-listed oil and gas explorer. One of its directors is also a director of the industry lobbying group UKOOG.

Activities

Shale gas exploration

In August 2016 the company increased its stake in a gas exploration and production licence near Redcar in North Yorkshire, where it sees the potential for future shale drilling. It acquired an extra 20 per cent in the PEDL 68 licence in the Cleveland Basin from DESS Energy, taking its total share in the block to 68 per cent.

The block comprises two areas about 20 to 30 miles north of Kirby Misperton, the site where Third Energy was aiming to frack after North Yorkshire County Council approved its plans in June 2016.

Partner in North Yorkshire Kirby Misperton site

Egdon is also a junior partner in another new licence for shale gas exploration, PEDL 259, which the Government provisionally awarded to Third Energy in the UK government's 14th Onshore Licensing Round.[1] Third Energy's onshore business has been bought by York Energy, a Cayman Islands-registered offshoot of US firm Alpha Energy, with the sale finalised in July 2019.

Coal methane extraction

In June 2014 Egdon bought significant shale assets in Britain from Alkane Energy, which specialises in extracting conventional gas for power generation and has a long history of coal mine methane extraction (CMM).

Oil production

In May 2019 Egdon applied to Lincolnshire county council for permission to increase noise limits and extend working hours at its exploratory oil site at North Kelsey in Lincolnshire.
