Cuadrilla reveals shale gas contracts worth £3m

Energy firm Cuadrilla today announced contracts worth £3m are up for grabs in the first quarter of 2017 as its shale gas exploration work gets underway in rural Lancashire.

Francis Egan, chief executive of Cuadrilla, which has started exploration work on a site near Little Plumpton on the Fylde, said today: “This is a great opportunity for local businesses to engage directly with our shale gas exploration operations and ensure that millions of pounds of spend remains in the county supporting local jobs.”

Babs Murphy, chief executive of North and Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, said today: “We are pleased to have helped develop an online site which will be a true engagement tool for local businesses, providing an effective communication platform for Cuadrilla and the potential local supply chain.”

The site will also keep businesses up to date with the latest developments with the exploration programme and the quality and safety standards required.

To date more than 700 companies are registered on the current supply chain portal since its launch almost two years ago.
