British government "lifted" shale gas exploitation

UK Energy and Climate Change Secretary Edward David 13, 2011, announced approval of the British boast Delilah resource companies to start using hydraulic fracturing technology in the Northwest region of England Lancashire shale gas .

Kwame Delilah resources in Lancashire using fracking technology in shale gas exploitation in spring 2011 triggered two small earthquakes, was the environmental groups oppose. From May 2011, the British government decided to suspend the application of hydraulic fracturing technology, shale gas exploitation projects.

British government's decision means that the day will give the green light for such projects in other regions. Earlier, the British government has released news on many occasions pledged to "ban"  Hydraulic fracturing  shale gas technology. British Prime Minister David Cameron said that the development of shale gas production will help increase domestic gas supply, reducing household energy bills.

Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne also said he would introduce a new tax policies to encourage investment in the field of shale gas. In this regard, the British industrial sector is encouraged, but environmentalists worried.

Energy Minister David issued a statement on the government website said, for Britain, shale gas represents a new energy resource. In the UK is committed to developing a low carbon economy,fracturing proppant the domestic shale gas development will make an important contribution to energy security, and help the UK to reduce dependence on gas imports.

He said that after listening to the views of the experts and the latest scientific research, based on the government before making a decision. Meanwhile, the hydraulic fracturing of shale gas exploitation will take measures to control seismic activity.

Industry analysts expect the release shale gas could create 35,000 jobs, and 10 percent to meet the country's demand for natural gas. Although the British rock formations deep underground might save a lot of shale gas, but was highly controversial mining methods. Environmentalists have repeatedly stressed their shale gas safety concerns.
