U.K. Fracking Project Delayed

GALWAY, IRELAND--January 30, 2015 --Written by Martin Lynch, European News Editor for Industrial Info (Galway, Ireland) The first major shale gas drilling operation in the U.K. has been delayed following a decision by Lancashire county Council to defer its final decision for two months.

The deferment comes a week after planners at the council recommended that permission for the two exploratory wells near Blackpool being sought by shale gas company, Cuadrilla Resources Ltd (Lichfield, England), should not be granted.
