UPDATE 2-Cuadrilla to restart fracking at British site
British shale gas company
Cuadrilla said on Thursday it would restart fracking at its
Preston New Road site in Britain in the third quarter of 2019
and plans to use a thicker fracking fluid to help reduce earth
tremors.
Fracking, or hydraulically fracturing, involves extracting
gas from rocks by breaking them up with water and chemicals at
high pressure.
