<p>The independent oil and gas regulator, the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA), is responsible
for ensuring operators mitigate the risk of induced seismicity. The OGA is continually
monitoring operations around the Preston New Road site to ensure they remain in line
with Cuadrilla’s Hydraulic Fracture Plan, which was independently approved by the
OGA and Environment Agency before the commencement of hydraulic fracturing operations.</p><p>
</p><p>We are absolutely committed to exploring shale gas extraction in a safe and
science-led way. The Traffic Light System, which dictates the required response to
seismic activity, has worked at the Preston New Road site in exactly the way that
it was designed to. The very minor seismic events recorded at the Preston New Road
site cannot be felt at the surface.</p><p> </p>
