total ceo - in talks for uk shale project, page-15

TBE ,


Are you sure you didn't mean the Gainsborough Trough ?
The Erbistock Basin is in the North West .


Seams Cuadrilla are also doing a deal to tie up Cleveland Basin acreage held by Viking .

Agree that Dart are superbly positioned .

Total can talk about the next licensing round all they want but it looks like the best acreage has already been grabbed .

They must be under pressure to tie up Igas and Dart - before someone else does .

Dart can afford to play fairly hard to get .
