In response to the move by Running Foxes, Bluebird stated today: “In the light of this decision by Running Foxes and further to the directors meeting with the management of Running Foxes, the directors have commenced a strategic and operational review of the Company's US assets with a view to recommending proposals which they believe will represent the best course of action for shareholders.”

Along with ShaleGas Resources, Bluebird is focused on shale gas opportunities in Europe and in July the company raised £280,000 through a 22.799 million share placing to finance the company's oil assets an the Centurion project.
