Notes to editors

IGas Energy produces and markets domestically sourced gas, primarily from coal bed methane (CBM). It is currently focussed on delivering commercial CBM production through an accelerated development programme.

IGas Energy has licences to extract hydrocarbons across the north of Wales and the north of England, covering an area of 1,756km² (equivalent to approximately 434,000 acres). IGas is the operator and sole owner of each of its licences.

IGas's unique position offers more than 1.7 Trillion Cubic Feet (Tcf) of technically recoverable gas (equivalent to 290 million barrels of oil) with customers located conveniently close to its operations, which includes the national gas network. IGas is therefore in a strong position to secure optimum gas prices from its production and to contribute to the UK's security of supply.
