Company Description:

This Company is incorporated in the UK and listed on AIM. They are a leading developer of Coal Bed Methane (CBM) in the UK; they produce North Sea-quality gas from virgin coal seams and focus on the development of a series of CBM assets in England and Wales, with the objective of becoming a significant onshore producer of gas.

This company has been operational since 2003, producing and marketing domestically sourced gas from unconventional sources such as coal bed methane (CBM) and shales. Their areas of operation are Cheshire, Yorkshire, Staffordshire and the North Wales coast and they are the operator and sole owner of each of their licenses.

The Company’s assets are located conveniently close to their customer base, which includes the national gas network.  So they are well positioned to secure high gas prices from production and to contribute to the UK’s security of supply.

This reputable Company is dedicated to working in partnership with the communities in which they operate.
