DRILLING of five new development wells on the Corrib gas field off the West coast has begun with Shell and its partners aiming to have the wells completed by the end of the year.
The Corrib Gas Partners recommenced drilling activities in the Corrib Gas field, 83km off the West coast last week.
In a statement issued yesterday the partners said that at the end of this season’s drilling, sometime in the late autumn, they plan to have five wells complete and ready for production.
The Corrib field lies in 350m of water with the gas reservoir a further 3000m below the seabed.
Drilling is being undertaken using the Sedco 711 drilling rig, a semi submersible drilling unit capable of operating in harsh environments and water depth of up to 550m.
The partners will also be using remotely operated vehicles or underwater robots, which will be operated from the surface while the partners are undertaking construction and maintenance work in deep water beyond the depth capability of commercial divers.
Construction of the gas processing plant in Bellanaboy is scheduled to commence in October, and will employ up to 700 people in Co Mayo.
Once on stream, Corrib gas will be able to provide up to 60pc of Ireland’s gas needs, reducing the country’s dependence on foreign imports.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
