Halliburton weighs in on Scottish UCG project… It’s organising time!

What is UCG?!
Have a read of this new UCG fact Sheet. It’s a very good place to start!

Cluff Natural Resources, one of the UK pioneers of this experimental industry, have just been awarded 3 new licenses – two just off the coast near Durham and one above Whitehaven on the opposite side of the country: http://www.cityam.com/1407806463/cluff-awarded-new-licences
