UK’s Cuadrilla restarts shale drilling after protests

摘要

London—UK-based shale explorer Cuadrilla Resources has restarted exploratory drilling at a well site in Balcombe, southeast England, after safety concerns ahead of an influx of protesters forced the company to halt operations last week. A spokesman for the company said Thursday drilling had restarted Wednesday evening. Cuadrilla scaled back operations at Balcombe on the advice of local police in anticipation of thousands of extra protesters arriving for a “Reclaim the Power” action camp between August 16-21, an event organized by the No Dash for Gas group.
