The Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) monitors seismicity as part of their regulatory duties at shale gas sites. They review all information submitted to them by Cuadrilla and have assured the Government that events at Preston New Road are conforming to the pre-agreed Hydraulic Fracture Plan.<\/p>
Information about the seismic events is displayed real-time on the British Geological Survey (BGS) site and Cuadrilla regularly update information on traffic light events on their web-site.<\/p>

If a seismic event of 0.5ML, or greater, on the \u2018Richter Local Scale\u2019 is detected and causally linked to the operations, hydraulic fracturing is suspended for a minimum of 18 hours. An event report must be submitted to and independently reviewed by each of the regulatory bodies who will only allow operations to recommence once they have fully assessed the information and are satisfied the event conforms to the pre-agreed Hydraulic Fracture Plan.<\/p>

The British Geological Survey (BGS) is recording seismicity in the Fylde and as of 15 November it has reported 36 minor seismic events since operations began, all but four of these were below the 0.5 magnitude threshold which requires Cuadrilla to pause operations for a minimum of 18 hours.<\/p>
