This report has been produced under contract by the British Geological Survey (BGS). It is based on a \nrecent analysis, together with published data and interpretations. \nAdditional information is available at the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DE \nCC) website. \nhttps://www.gov.uk/oil \n-and \n-gas \n-onshore \n-exploration \n-and \n-production \n. This includes licensing \nregulations, \n maps, \n monthly production figures, basic well data and where \n to view and purchase \ndata. \nShale gas related issues including hydraulic fracturing, induced \n-seismicity risk \n mitigation and \nthe information regarding the onshore regulatory framework can also be found on this webpage. \nInteractive \nmaps, with licence data, s \neismic, relinquishment reports and stratigraphic tops for \nmany \nwells are available at \nwww.ukogl.org.uk \n. \nA glossary of terms used and equivalences is tabled at the end of the report \n (see page \n65 \n).
