"FracKing for Gas in the Mendips"

by Tom Preece

“The British government is presently considering the granting of exploration licences to allow for shale gas drilling in the Mendips. Recent media attention has drawn attention to potential risks which are, or might be, associated with such operations. This presentation, hosted by Radstock Museum, introduces a petroleum engineer of 45 years’ experience in these types of operation. The speaker will discuss the relevant local geology, required drilling and completion activities, but most particularly the hydraulic fracturing operation. Risks associated with these operations will be addressed, with details of how these may be mitigated. The speaker will be pleased to answer any relevant questions at the end of the presentation.”

  1. I'm a local resident of Radstock and was very dissapointed to find when I arrived at Radstock Methodist Church there was a £3 entry fee, which has not been advertised anywhere and as I arrived to the meeting with no money I was not allowed in, also another gentleman was turned away as he arrived with no money.
    I am very against the idea of fracking and really wanted to here what the speaker had to say.
    If you want local people to get involved then you really should advertise that there is a charge to get into the Methodist Church.
