Corrib pipeline work to end in 2014

ONE of Shell’s partners in the €2.5 billion Corrib Gas project has conceded that gas will not now be brought ashore until 2014.

Previously, the lead partner in the project, Shell E&P Ireland, had stated that the gas would flow from the Corrib Gas field in 2013 at the earliest.

However, in a statement attached to its earnings for the second quarter of 2011, the Canadian-based Vermilion Energy revealed that work on the onshore pipeline will not be completed until 2014.
