Persimmon, as a chartered geoscientist who has worked across several gas fields in Yorkshire over the past few decades, I can confirm you are talking out of your harris. The KA reservoir is regionally overprinted by natural fractures , creating a pathway for gas expulsion. This is why there have been many successful gas fields within the same strata around Yorkshire. This is also why WNA1 had an unexpected powerful gas kick to the surface which led them to kill the well. With the heavy duty rig and proper weighted drilling mud during operations this will not be a problem. Fracking is only usually undertaken typically in tight reservoirs to improve pore connectivity, which will not be a problem at West Newton, as proven by analogous producing wells. Acidisation or acid squeezing on the other hand is used flow the reservoir and improve production rates and is not banned. Feel free to disagree, but the proof will be in the pudding and there isn’t long to wait now. Good luck with your investment if indeed you are invested.
