Default Fracking halted at Cuadrilla's Lancashire site after earthquake

[Cuadrilla has been forced to suspend fracking at their Lancashire site after a 0.8 magnitude earthquake was recorded.
The British Geological Survey recorded the quake at around 11.30am today.
In a statement, Cuadrilla's spokesperson confirmed: "Cuadrilla was hydraulically fracturing
the shale rock adjacent to a horizontal well at the time and the seismicity is classed as
a red event in line with the traffic light monitoring system regulated by the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA)."
The spokesperson added: "Work will now pause for at least 18 hours and is expected to recommence in the morning."]
