  1. Kirby Misperton fracking

  2. References

Third Energy Onshore Ltd is a UK company involved in oil and gas exploration, including proposals for fracking operations in Kirby Misperton, North Yorkshire. It is 97% owned by Barclays' private equity division, Barclays Natural Resource Investments;[1] its ultimate parent company, Third Energy Holdings, is based in the Cayman Islands.[2]

The company was incorporated as Viking Petroleum UK Ltd in October 2003.[1] In December 2003, it acquired a 40% holding in the Ryedale gasfields in North Yorkshire from Edinburgh Oil and Gas plc.[2] In October 2013, Viking acquired Tullow Oil's 60% share in onshore oil interests relating to the North Yorkshire gas fields and operation of the gas-fired Knapton Power Station in October 2013[3] (Knapton is supplied by gas wells in the Kirby Misperton area).[4] Viking changed its name to Third Energy Onshore in October 2013.[1]

Kirby Misperton fracking

{{main|Kirby Misperton}}

In November 2014, Third Energy announced its intention to apply for permission to frack near Kirby Misperton.[5][6]

In July 2015 Third Energy applied to North Yorkshire County Council for planning permission to frack a well drilled in 2013 and to produce gas from it. Permission was granted in May 2016; Friends of the Earth and a local pressure group, Frack Free Ryedale, applied for judicial review of the decision,[7] but this application was rejected in December 2016.[4][8] In October 2017, Third Energy announced its intention to begin fracking within weeks.[9][10]

In November 2017, opponents to the fracking operation called upon the company to confirm its financial standing before commencing work; the company was over a month late in filing its accounts[11] (which were eventually filed on 1 February 2018).[12] In January 2018, Business Secretary Greg Clark said permission for Third Energy to frack would not be granted until financial checks had been completed by the Infrastructure and Projects Authority,[13] amid concerns about its resilience and ability to fund clean-up costs.[14] The 2016 accounts of Third Energy UK Gas Ltd showed it made a £3.4m loss (down from a £3.85m loss in 2015), but owed £44.7m to its ultimate parent company, Third Energy Holdings, based in the Cayman Islands.[14]

Third Energy began removing equipment from the site in early February 2018,[15] as questions about the company's finances and management continued, including about the September 2017 appointments[16] of former Carillion interim CEO Keith Cochrane as non-executive chairman,[17] and of Jitesh Gadhia, a Conservative party peer and donor and a non-executive director at HM Treasury body UK Financial Investments (which advises government on dealing with financially distressed businesses) as a non-executive director.[14] Cochrane and Gadhia resigned as directors in September 2018.[18]
