Rathlin Energy
Canadian-owned energy company Rathlin Energy UK plans to conduct tests on shale rocks beneath the East Riding of Yorkshire in the UK in summer 2014 to determine whether the formation is capable of being hydraulically fractured - the technical name for fracking.
Activities
In March 2014 Rathlin Energy was seeking environmental permits to carry out a series of tests on two wells at Crawberry Hill and West Newton, near Hull. The plans include so-called mini fall-off tests in the Bowland shale rocks.[1]
The firm first began drilling in a field off Walkington Heads in Crawberry Hill in February 2012 to look for oil and gas deposits and then began to explore the site at the village of Fosham, near Aldbrough in Holderness. It said an application for environmental permits at a site near Skirlaugh relates to drilling that has already taken place, allaying concerns that a third site is being explored.
