Such as?

I don't believe it will be mined. It will have to be fracked (because it's shale), which the Gov. might want, but WEF want to move away from old tech like gas, so it won't happen. Plus, fracking is insanely resource intensive, especially water, and notwithstanding all the side effects of fracking such as tremors, and chemical contamination of the water table. It's also illegal since 2019 in the UK.

I don't know anything about the laws but I assume a company wouldn't pay to drill to find it if they knew there was no possibility of doing something with it?

Wrong. An example of this is West Newton Oil and Gas project and I quote, from BBC:
This was licensed in 2008 and described as "potentially one of the largest hydrocarbon fields discovered" onshore in the UK. Seventeen years has passed and nothing of commercial significance has been extracted from that site in East Yorkshire.

They haven't explored and not done it because there was "no possibility of doing something with it", though. It's because of funding issues from the company that want to do it.

Feb 2024:

Updated: New drilling plans at West Newton

Partners in a scheme to produce oil and gas in East Yorkshire have announced what appear to be big changes to their plans.

They certainly want to, from what I can tell, especially since they appear to have a license to extract oil and gas from there.

It's worth noting that nothing of commercial significance has come out of the BBC for about a decade though.
