Environmental campaigners are calling for production to be halted at a Dorset oil well after a freedom of information request has revealed the well emitted nearly 300 tons of methane into the atmosphere last year.

The Perenco rig at Kimmeridge has been operating for decades and The Environment Agency is currently in the process of renewing its licence.
