Cuadrilla, which says it’s found more natural gas trapped in the local shale rock than Iraq has in its entire reserves, plans to pursue hydraulic fracturing in three wells by the end of this year. The program hinges on getting final approval from Britain’s energy department, which called for an assessment of fracking after two tremors in the area last year.
