In the UK, thirty one percent of electricity currently comes from coal-burning power stations. However, a third of these power stations are expected to close by 2016 so that they meet EU air quality legislation. This means that Britain will become less reliant on coal as a source of energy and will need to look at alternative energy sources. http://www.energy-uk.org.uk/energy-industry/coal-generation.html

For the first time in 46 years, Kent's kettles are bubbling away without the help of Tilbury power station's considerable coal power. On Tuesday morning, amid little fanfare, Tilbury's turbines spun for the last time. But barely had the soot-tinged tears dried before news of more shutdowns hit the headlines. While power companies are quick to blame the rise of government-supported renewables for plant closures, in reality the writing has been on the wall for a long time. Some European policies require old power plants to shut down, and - while economics plays a part - many plants are retired due to inevitable infrastructural ageing. Coal and oil About 6.1 gigawatts of UK coal plant capacity is expected to shut down by 2015 due to the European Union's Large Combustion Plant Directive (LCPD). The LCPD requires plants to reduce sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and particulate matter emissions. If plants choose not to comply, they can only operate for a further 20,000 hours - and must shut down for good by 2015. The map below shows which UK plants have closed since 2011, and are expected to close in the next decade (click on it to go to the interactive page). http://www.carbonbrief.org/blog/2013/08/the-uk%E2%80%99s-power-plant-graveyards-what,-where,-and-why/

There's quite a few sites you can check out a quick one is the following:- http://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/

Yeah, the COAL FIRED ones, if I remember watching one being mothballed, cannot simply be switched back on like a Kettle can they.. pop in some Gas disruptions at Europe, and off we go........ People still want a gas cooker, just in case! ( I just about remember some of the Seventies , power outages and 3 day weeks!) Should get shares in YANKEE candle ********************************************************************************************************************************** ps C7 if you are on ALKANE BB, I almost want to apologise for ranting on about you on IGAS BB however, posts are posts, still nothing personal really................ BH:- just to add to previous , as you are our money man, how much upside would we get from PROVEN resources at Wressle, based on our share, and the average number of barrels on a typical well of this kind?? I did a bit of homework on this, theres some calculations I did on EUROPA and HURRICANE, but just need another life to have the time :-D

@kenstaff #EDR Egdon Resources news is good for Alkane Energy #ALK ... Alkane holds 18.1% of Egdon Resoures!

Well its the first goo d post from C7 so well done ( I have to say at this moment , IGAS site is not for you!!, but keep trying :-D if you wish ) so we have another Warning from the GRID!!!! this is after asking operators of large scale industry, to POWER down at PEAK times..... ''Supplemental Balancing Reserve (SBR)'' is the new BUZZ word or as they say TURN THE FKN LIGHTS OFF ITS LIKE BLACKPOOL!!!!

Well well time will tell C7 if you want to go for the great SHALE race or not 2 posts positive, out of about 30 Negative doesnt float the IGAS boat But, as ALK is a quiet board, I will give you my due. BAYSIL is a gent, and I am sure will look after you xx

DONT we have a stake in this guys?? Alkane will be issued 40,000,000 ordinary shares of Egdon as consideration for the Acquisition. RNS AT EGDON EGDON RESOURCES PLC ("Egdon" or "the Company") Preliminary Results of the Wressle-1 Exploration Well Egdon Resources plc (AIM:EDR) is pleased to announce the preliminary results from drilling of the Wressle-1 conventional exploration well located to the East of S****horpe. The Wressle-1 well was spudded on 18 July 2014 and on 23 August 2014 reached a total depth (TD) of 2240 metres measured depth (MD) (1814 metres true vertical depth below OS datum (TVDSS)). Elevated mud gas readings were observed over large parts of the interval from the top of the Penistone Flags reservoir target (1831.5 metres MD) to TD. The well was logged using measurement whilst drilling (MWD) logging tools run on the drill string. Preliminary petrophysical evaluation of the log data has indicated the presence of potential hydrocarbon pay in three main intervals; · Penistone Flags - up to 19.8 metres measured thickness (15.9 metres vertical thickness) · Wingfield Flags - up to 5.64 metres measured thickness (5.1 metres vertical thickness) · Ashover Grit - up to 6.1 metres measured thickness (5.8 metres vertical thickness) The well is currently being completed with a 4 ½" liner to enable selective and sequential testing of these intervals as part of an extended well test, for which planning consent has already been received. These test operations, which will be designed to determine the flow rates, hydrocarbon type and hence commerciality of the Wressle-1 well, will be undertaken using a work-over rig and are expected to commence during October 2014. Further updates will be given as these operations progress. The interests in the Wressle-1 well are: Egdon Resources U.K. Limited 25.00% (Operator) Celtique Energie Petroleum Limited 33.33% Europa Oil & Gas Limited 33.34% Union Jack Oil plc 8.33% Commenting on the results Mark Abbott, Managing Director of Egdon said: "We are very encouraged by the preliminary evaluation of Wressle-1- our first exploration well in the East Midlands Basin - with interpretation of potential hydrocarbon pay of over 30 metres thickness (measured) in three discrete reservoir intervals. Our attention now moves to designing and delivering a testing programme for these intervals to determine the potential for a commercial discovery and we look forward to updating shareholders once these operations commence."

watch out C7 is about!!!!!! doom and gloom sell sell sell THIS SHARE WILL NOSE DIVE all negative comments from C7 IGAS FORUM RECKON GREENIE CAMPAIGNER!!!! ( C7, sorry if this is not true, but youre posts will reflect out thoughts??, its not personal by the way :-D)

http://www.energyglobal.com/news/exploration/articles/EY-Oil-and-Gas-Eye-1177.aspx#.VALqTPldXPY EY has released a report in which it highlights that its Oil and Gas Eye rose 3% in Q2 2014. Junior oil and gas companies outperformed the wider AIM market for the first time in two years, with the AIM All-share index declining nearly 8%. However, the index’s performance remains volatile, and junior oil and gas companies underperformed their larger peers. The FTSE 350 Oil & Gas Producers’ index gained 8% in Q2. The constituent companies received some support from a rise in oil prices following political unrest in the Middle East. EY highlights that UK onshore operations are engaging in M&A activity to build scale and secure early mover advantage. In May, IGas said it had agreed to buy Australian junior, Dart Energy, in a recommended deal valued at approximately £ 117.1 million. The combination of IGas and Dart will create a leading onshore oil and gas company with the largest are in the UK under license. Egdon Energy has announced the proposed acquisiton of the onshore shale gas business and assets of Alkane Energy. The deal will almost double Egdon’s prospective shale gas acreage in Northern England, according to EY. Earlier this year, Egdon and IGas said they had entered into farm-out deals with Total, marking the entry of the first oil major into UK shale gas exploration. These deals suggest keen interest will be likely from a range of explorers in the 14th UK Onshore Licensing Round, expected later this year.

THE REST YOU MAY NEED TO LOG IN! http://www.oilvoice.com/n/Egdon_Resources_Astute_dealmaking_in_shale_continues/541659287b69.aspx?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+OilvoiceHeadlines+%28OilVoice+Headlines%29#gsc.tab=0

Exploration funded; big targets for 2014-16 With seven exploration prospects targeted for drilling within 18 months, Egdon’s exploration programme could provide a material catalyst for the shares. Success at prospects Wressle and Burton on the Wolds, due to spud in June, could be worth 20p to shareholders. Success at the more material Biscathorpe and prospect ‘A’, targeted for drilling in 2015, could add a further 85p on an unrisked basis. Valuation: 26p RENAV, shale gas all upside In terms of core NAV for Egdon’s existing assets we assign a value of 8.5p, comprising producing assets and cash. We value the seven exploration prospects at 17.5p, suggesting a risked valuation (RENAV) of 26p. In addition, we tentatively suggest a value for Egdon’s unconventional shale-gas acreage portfolio of 41p, suggesting a value for the company of 67p. Alkane deal represents good value On 13 May Egdon agreed to acquire the onshore UK shale gas exploration licences of Alkane Energy. 10 licences are to be acquired totalling 66,867 net acres, increasing Egdon’s shale-gas portfolio by 91% to 140,176 acres. Egdon will pay for the licences with the issue of 40m 20p shares, equating to a purchase price of £8m ($12.8m) or $191/acre. In terms of recent deals in UK shale this looks cheap. If we strip out the parcel of 29,700 acres highlighted as less critical to this deal, the group paid only $350/acre for these assets. This is against a backdrop of both asset and corporate deals in the UK ranging from $500-3,000/acre. The deal and simultaneously announced placing will be put to a general shareholder meeting for approval on 5 June. From Alkane’s perspective the deal makes good sense; given the dispersed nature of Alkane’s licences and the group’s lack of capital, a standalone exploration programme was unlikely. We do not think the Egdon shares held by Alkane represent an overhang as Alkane has clearly stated its desire to retain leverage to a potential windfall from UK shale-gas development. Of the 10 Alkane licences acquired, three are viewed as having the greatest shale gas potential: PEDL043 and PEDL169 in the Gainsborough Trough and PEDL191 to the East in the Craven basin, Lancashire. The absolute size and position of these licences relative to Egdon’s existing portfolio are illustrated in Exhibit 1.
