Data from three wells and freshly acquired 3D seismic over the permit area in Lancashire has uncovered more resource potential than previously thought, according to Cuadrilla senior geoscientist Huw Clarke.
“In terms of the resource in place, we originally came out with 200 Tcf, but that was just off one well,” Clarke told the Shale UK conference in London.
“Since then, we’ve drilled two extra wells and we've shot 100 square kilometres of 3D seismic and I believe there’s closer to 330 Tcf in place just within Cuadrilla’s licence area alone,” he said.
