SHELL EP Ireland plans to drill a satellite well north of the Corrib gas field which could produce additional gas reserves.
The Sedco 711-submersible rig arrived on location some 80km off the Mayo coast last week and has been booked for the summer.
Seismic information gathered last year on the Corrib North block has proved to be very positive, according to industry sources.
If the field proves commercial, it could result in a significant extension of the Corrib offshore and onshore infrastructure, subject to Government approval.
Vermilion, which bought out Marathons share in Corrib last year for a quoted price of $400 million (330 million), described Corrib North last year as a four-way dip closure that has the potential to hold about 200 billion cubic feet of gas.
The Canadian companys chief executive Lorenzo Donadeo told the industry journal, Upstream , that if the well was successful, the discovery could be tied back to Corribs infrastructure via two sub-sea wells at a cost of up to $117.8 million.
The current Corrib gas field on the Slyne Basin is estimated to have a 20-year lifespan, with a capability of producing up to 60 per cent of Irelands energy needs over five years.
Shell EP Ireland confirmed that it intended to drill an exploration well on the site.

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.
