UK player IGas Energy has hit shale gas with its well on the Springs Road prospect in northern England in the UK, writes Anamaria Deduleasa.
The SR-01 well in North Nottinghamshire, the second in a three-well exploration drilling programme at sites at Tinker Lane and Springs Road, is targeting the Bowland shale geological formation.
IGas said the well encountered a hydrocarbon-bearing shale sequence of more than 250 metres, including the upper and lower Bowland shale.
