Why don't we re-enter PG-6, PG-7, PG-8 and PG-9?
The build up of pressure would be massive (no need to hydraulically fracture).
The revenue would be handy!
Would we need a permit?
If we did and the Slovene Authorities were obstructive then that would add ammunition to our case.
...and our compressor would be even more valuable.
Before granting licenses for exploration and/or
production of hydrocarbons which may lead to the use
of high-volume hydraulic fracturing, Member States
should prepare a strategic environmental assessment to
prevent, manage and reduce the impacts on, and risks
for, human health and the environment. This assessment
should be carried out on the basis of the requirements of
Directive 2001/42/EC.

The Media are now involved which is a good thing.
AST must reply to ARSO's request for an EIA as soon as possible - list the objections and answer them one by one hopefully publicly.
In the meantime they must progress the alternative methods of extracting gas and oil from PG-10 and PG-11A.
I would not be surprised if we were given the go ahead from ARSO with the IPPC in the near future - how long is it now since we've heard from ARSO with this issue?
Colin should reduce his salary.
"The British Embassy in Ljubljana is working with the British Slovene Chamber of Commerce to support Ascent Resources as a British investor in Slovenia.
Decisions on permits are rightly a matter for the Slovene Government.
The Embassy will continue to make the point that foreign investors need to be given predictable timescales for decisions on these issues by Slovene authorities.
Ambassador to Slovenia Sophie Honey raised this recently with Slovene Ministers, and will continue to press this case with local authorities.
We regret that the Embassy cannot engage individually with shareholders, who should contact Ascent directly if desired.
However we remain in close contact with Ascent and the British Slovene Chamber of Commerce on this matter."
