Fracking firm Cuadrilla to permanently abandon UK shale gas sites

Firm sets out plan to seal two shale gas wells in Lancashire two years after government shutdown order

The owner of the shale fracking company Cuadrilla will permanently plug and abandon its two shale wells in Lancashire, drawing a line on Britain's failed fracking industry.

Cuadrilla set out plans to permanently seal the two shale gas wells drilled at the Preston New Road Lancashire shale exploration site a little over two years after the government brought an end to fracking in England.
