“We can confirm that a micro seismic event measuring 2.1 ML on the Richter scale occurred at Preston New Road. This lasted for around 1 second and resulted in ground motion less than 1.5 mm/s. Hydraulic fracturing was not taking place at the time”, a company spokeswoman said. The company said that the event was “well below anything” that can cause harm to individuals or their property.
After Wednesday’s tremor, the company paused fracking at the Preston New Road site in Lancashire, northwest England.
