Oil bonanza: Dallas coming to Dorking

In April 2015 UKOG announced it had made a discovery of 'world class reserves' in the south east of England - some 50-100bn barrels, compared with some 45bn barrels extracted from the North Sea over a period of 40 years. It is estimated however that only around 3-15% of this oil may actually be recoverable.
