If one remembers the frak'ing issue in Lancashire UK a while back, protesters saying no way... well.
UK government has just approved their pet oil company, Cuadrilla to go ahead and FRAK TWO horizontal wells that they drilled underneath Preston New Road in Little Plumpton.
The law says, if earthquakes start FRAK'ing operations MUST STOP. Cuadrilla says they will not cause any damage..
If the people note vibration, earthquakes, parts of their buildings starting to crumble, they should report immediately..
The wells were drilled 2,273-2,341-m TVD with a 782-m lateral (thats the horizontal component).

6 Protesters have been arrested so far:
Energy and Clean Growth Minister Claire Perry said all the necessary environmental and health and safety measures has been met.A spokesman for the protesters said: "This industry has gone to extreme and expensive lengths to manipulate the law, via a court injunction, to prevent protest in meaningful forms."https://www.independent.co.uk/enviro...-a8363411.html
Anti-fracking protests have taken place at the site for several months but this is the first challenge to the injunction since it was extended until 2020 earlier in July.
Fracking has already been linked to seismic activity in Lancashire, after Prof Styles warned of the dangers of extracting gas at Cuadrilla’s Preese Hall site.
In 2011, the British Geological Survey recorded a tremor at that site with a 2.4 magnitude followed by another with a 3.2 magnitude. The events led to ban on all operations in the area.
So Cuadrilla lies. Quakes were already reported at another Cuadrilla well site.
