UPDATE: West Newton A site

Rathlin Energy (UK) Limited is pleased to announce that East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s planning committee approved the extension of the permission for the West Newton A site, for a further three years, until 19 November 2021. The company plans to drill its next conventional well from the existing West Newton A site. The West Newton A-2 well will follow up on the WNA-1 gas discovery, and will drill to a depth of approximately 2,000m to test the conventional Permian carbonate reservoirs. The deeper (3,000m) shale layers play no part in Rathlin Energy (UK) Limited’s programme of works which for clarity does not involve shale gas.
