Lancashire for Shale is a pro-shale business group in Lancashire, set up in July 2016. It is closely affiliated with the pro-shale lobby group North West Energy Task Force run by lobbyists Westbourne Communications. Both groups are part funded by fracking firms Cuadrilla Resources and Centrica, among others

The group has been criticised by local communities against fracking as operating as a 'front group' for the shale gas companies.
