Drilling Activity Summary

Description

Cuadrilla Resources Ltd. is under way at a pilot well at #1-Preston New Road at a site near Little Plumpton in Lancashire, U.K. The planned depth is 3,500 m and two horizontal wells will be drilled at a later time. The Staffordshire, U.K.-based company’s exploration is in PEDL 165 and is targeting Bowland Shale. After drilling and logging is complete, the depth and orientation of other horizontal wells will be determined—up to four exploration wells could be drilled at the site and laterals could extend to 2,000 m.
