Lou Castro: The Dangers of Fracking <\/strong><\/h1>\n

and What Went Wrong At West Newton A.<\/strong><\/h1>\n
In light of a recent e-mail received from Rathlin Energy UK regarding this presentation Truth Juice Hull are happy to announce that this talk will be repeated. Rathlin Energy have disputed amongst other things that a mini frac never took place. To be fair and balanced and to present both sides Rathlin Energy UK and Connaught Oil & Gas Ltd will be invited to this presentation along with the press.<\/h5>\n
Please share this event and encourage people to attend.<\/h5>\n

Dear Ms Castro<\/h5>\n
We are aware of a recent statement circulated under the subject line \u2018PRESS RELEASE: THE DANGERS OF FRACKING AND WHAT WENT WRONG AT WEST NEWTON A\u2019 by a group who describe themselves as Hull Truth Juice. As the statement is both false and misleading we wish to make the following statement to confirm the correct position.<\/span><\/h5>\n
1.) Rathlin Energy (UK) Limited has previously, and will again, categorically state that no such mini fall off test (or as you call it a \u2018mini frac\u2019) or, indeed, any other test of the Bowland Shale took place in the West Newton A well. The claims made by the protest group are completely false.<\/h5>\n
2.) Rathlin Energy (UK) Limited has no outstanding Environment Agency compliance issues at this time. The Environment Agency, as statutory consultee on both the recent West Newton B planning application and West Newton A variation application, made no objection to either of these applications. Both applications received unanimous approval from the Minerals Authority (East Riding of Yorkshire Council).<\/h5>\n
3.) The well drilled and tested at the West Newton A wellsite discovered natural gas. Rathlin Energy (UK) Limited believes this is firm evidence of a potentially significant commercial gas field in the Permian Kirkham Abbey formation. Connaught\/Rathlin Energy (UK) Limited have a capital programme planned for the appraisal of this conventional gas discovery.<\/h5>\n
4.) Any future project for gas production and distribution will be based on the successful results of an appraisal drilling programme and economic analyses and will be subject to the appropriate permits, approvals from all the relevant regulatory authorities<\/h5>\n
For further information please contact our press office.<\/h5>\n
Yours sincerely<\/h5>\n
