News: AJL UPDATE 1-Britain's Cuadrilla extracts first shale gas at English fracking site, page-7

The gas is not 'flowing' - we monitor this site 24/7 - every sound, every movement, every emission... today was about keeping you investors on board after a really bad fortnight of seismicity and a nervous Conservative government fearful of a potential election if they mess up much more. 95 Conservative MPs do not want the fracking licenses in their areas and this government has a fragile majority - that's the real math in this. Today's press release was about a puff of gas that flamed for less than 10 seconds - they're hoping the SP rises on this hot air. There is no data and Egan said it was 'unexpected' which does not instil confidence for those of us bedding down above the well. We believe they fracked today at around 15:30 (they haven't fracked at all since Monday) - can you think of any reason why they wouldn't have been fracking since then? Considering how badly they need to, this seems odd behavior. Today also saw the coming and going of regulation agencies as well as fire and safety officers - we believe there is a problem.
