Star give up W end of Loxley/Dunsfold4 May 2025 09:28
From drill or drop - Bodley Bridge is part of the Loxley/Dunsfold Structure.
Star Energy has also not renewed its licence PEDL235 in West Sussex and Surrey, which included the Godley Bridge gas discovery. In 2019, the company, then known as IGas, told local people in the Surrey village of Dunsfold that it planned to drill for oil and gas in their neighbourhood. It said it had signed a lease on land north of the village.
Earlier that year, UK Oil & Gas applied to drill for gas in the neighbouring licence PEDL234, also near Dunsfold.
No site work has been carried out on either scheme. Today’s news emerged in Star Energy’s annual accounts, for the year ending December 2024. Star Energy said it was rationalising its portfolio of exploration licences. It said it planned to abandon less productive sites and relinquish early-stage exploration and shale licences.
