You can visit this link to read information about the 14th
Round of onshore oil and gas license offers. The attached spreadsheet
includes details on the work programmes for licence blocks. Spreadsheet can be viewed by this link https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1P5DEqM5L8YMDlxa3RrSjdURUVGRzlUZEoteFhRd0lBei00/view?usp=sharing
It’s
important to note that Cuadrilla is still in the licence offer stage,
so no licences have yet been awarded and the company is not due to
formally accept any of the offered licences until later this year.
Row
24 of the spreadsheet shows the licence blocks – SE74 and SE84 – which
cover Bielby Parish. If Cuadrilla is awarded these licence blocks, the
company would be firmly committed to acquiring new two dimensional
geophysical (2D seismic) data within 5 years
of the licence award. This will enable Cuadrilla to understand the
subsurface geology of the licence area and help to assess where
potential exploration sites could be located.
Afterwards,
the company would need to decide to either drill an exploration well or
relinquish these licences. Any future proposed exploration sites would
be the subject of a planning application to East Riding Council,
applications to the Environment Agency, Health and Safety Executive, and
Department of Energy and Climate Change for regulatory approvals, along
with extensive public consultation.
