Shale gas exploration operator Cuadrilla confirmed it has resumed hydraulic fracturing operations at its flagship Lancashire site in Preston New Road near Blackpool.
The company announced that it would return to operations last month and has secured all the required permits and permissions to fracture up to 45 stages on its second horizontal well at the site.
It says work will be completed by the end of November and followed by flow testing of the well, with gas flow results expected early in 2020.
