US oil giant Halliburton lined up as potential fracking partner
Deepwater Horizon disaster firm hold talks with company planning to drill for oil and gas in South
Downs National Park
Halliburton, the American oil services giant that featured prominently in the Deepwater Horizon disaster,
has been lined up as a potential contractor in Britain's oil and gas "fracking" industry,
The energy company, previously run by former US Vice President Dick Cheney, has held confidential
talks with a British company planning to drill for oil and gas in the Sussex countryside, including on
land that is within the South Downs National Park.
Internal documents produced by Celtique Energie, a privately owned oil and gas explorer with four
licences to test for reserves in southern England, reveal that it held meetings with Halliburton about
"farm-in" deals - industry jargon for sub-contracting - for three of its areas of operation in Sussex.
