By Controversial fracking operation completed
A fracking operation has been completed at the Wressle Oil Field Development.
Egdon Resources plc are an established exploration and production company focused on the hydrocarbon-producing basins.
Egdon released a statement saying they are: “pleased to advise that the proppant squeeze operation on the Ashover Grit reservoir interval in the Wressle-1 well has been completed safely and successfully.”
A total of 146 cubic metres of gelled fluid with 17.3 tonnes of ceramic proppant were injected into the Ashover Grit formation in line with the authorised programme.
Last year the government approved a plan for Egdon Resources plc to continue to drill for oil.
Mark Abbott, Managing Director of Egdon, commented: “I am pleased to report on the safe and successful completion of the proppant squeeze operations at Wressle. I would like to thank our team of contractors and staff for the highly professional way in which the operations were undertaken with no adverse impact on the environment or the amenity of our neighbours.
I now look forward to the well being placed back on production and reporting on the positive impact of the operation on future oil production from the site in the coming weeks.”
