So, the rights to any oil/gas beneath a landowners property is the property of the crown,

but all mines and minerals which lie beneath the soil of the land owned by the landowner belongs to the landowner.

How would that work in terms of fracking, and would it be classified as a mine?...

        So you think it's practised completely safely in the UK and that there is no need for any (NCFC) - Adster, Dec 18, 20:00:36
