Offshore Slyne Basin Study: 1.4 Tcf Of Gas
Drilling Activity Details
Drilling Activity Summary
Description
A study commissioned by Europa Oil & Gas for offshore Ireland’s Slyne Basin indicates a number of significant potentially gas-bearing structures. The study is based on legacy 3-D seismic data and data recently released from exploration well #18/20-7 that was drilled in 2010 into Corrib North, a Triassic sandstone reservoir prospect on LO 16/20. According to the London-based company, the prospective resources estimate is 1.4 Tcf of gas in place. Log data from the exploration well suggest the presence of gas at Corrib North which is a separate anticline north of the Corrib gas field. Based on mapping, Europa believes the full gas column at Corrib North has the potential to be 170 m thick.
