LONDON, Aug. 23 () -- British energy company Cuadrilla Resources confirmed it resumed drilling in the country's southeast region following major protests.More than a dozen activists rallying in support of a campaign dubbed "No Dash for Gas" were arrested after widespread protests in London and Balcombe, a village in West Sussex.Cuadrilla said last week it was scaling back drilling operations in Balcombe on the advice of West Sussex police,[url=http://www.govtvault.com/]gucci outelt store[/url], who were preparing for a weekend sit-in. The company confirmed to energy reporting website Rigzone it resumed its activities Thursday morning.Caudrilla says it's drilling a conventional oil well in Balcombe but critics say they're worried it's a prelude to a hydraulic fracturing campaign. The drilling practice dubbed fracking is seen as a threat to groundwater because of some of the chemicals used in the process.Rigzone reports the company has permission to drill through the end of September. West Sussex police said in a statement Wednesday they were scaling back operations in Balcombe, though a police presence may be needed "for a number of weeks." The BBC reported Thursday more than 100 demonstrators were still at the drilling site. |
