‘Notable gas shows’ in Celtic Sea
The Barryroe field, located in the Celtic Sea, marks the starting point of the company’s long-awaited multi-year drilling campaign in Irish waters.
Providence, headed up by Tony O’Reilly Jnr, said yesterday that appraisal drilling encountered notable gas shows through the PSE Seven Heads Limited-operated gas reservoir, which overlies the Barryroe oil discovery. Following casing of this section, the well will be drilled ahead through the underlying primary and secondary Barryroe oil reservoir targets to a total depth of 7,464 metres, the company said.
