The government decided on Thursday to lift the moratorium on the controversial process of fracking.
A new scientific review was published by the British Geological Survey.
There is still a limited understanding of the UK's unconventional oil and gas resources.
A method of mining gas and oil is called fracking.
Concerns over earth tremors led to a ban on the practice of fda.
The question has been reopened after the energy crisis worsened.
The end of the ban was announced by the Business and Energy Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg.
Due to its association with minor earthquakes, the UK has been a controversial place to frack.
There were more than 120 tremors recorded at Cuadrilla's site in the year 2019.
The British Geological Survey commissioned a review in April to consider any changes to the science surrounding the practice.
Predicting the occurrence of large earthquakes is a scientific challenge for thegeoscience community.
There are areas of stress within the rock. Water is injected into the rock in order to get the gas. The water helps lubricate the rock. The movement can cause a tremors.
It is not possible to identify all faults that could host earthquakes with magnitudes of up to 3, even with the best available data, according to the BGS.
