:00:18. > :00:22.Exploration is at an early stage, still in negotiations,

:00:23. > :00:26.but there are fears in the long term it could see fracking of land under

:00:27. > :00:29.or adjacent to the ancient woodland, although land owners themselves

:01:56. > :02:02.We do know from the seismic surveys done in the ocean and the seismic
