The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has conducted three site inspections of Third Energy's KM8 well site since 6 June 2013, looking in particular at well integrity. HSE interventions are based on well notifications which are required before activity on the well can begin, and weekly reports by the well operator during this activity, including any hydraulic fracturing.
