Yesterday you said "But new legislation last week, could well swing this in UKOG corner!"
Which bit were you referring to?
"Oil, gas and coal exploration and extraction
215. Minerals planning authorities should:
a) when planning for on-shore oil and gas development, clearly distinguish between, and plan positively for, the three phases of development (exploration, appraisal and production), whilst ensuring appropriate monitoring and site restoration is provided for;
b) encourage underground gas and carbon storage and associated infrastructure if local geological circumstances indicate its feasibility;
c) indicate any areas where coal extraction and the disposal of colliery spoil may be acceptable;
d) encourage the capture and use of methane from coal mines in active and abandoned coalfield areas; and
e) provide for coal producers to extract separately, and if necessary stockpile, fireclay so that it remains available for use."
