Description

During the past few years, a number of factors have combined to create renewed petroleum exploration interest in the sedimentary basins that virtually surround Ireland. These factors include recent discoveries in contiguous UK offshore basins, the perceived attractiveness of Irish licensing terms anc;! the apparent stabilization of the international oil price, combined with recent advances in drilling and deep-water pro­duction technologies and the realization by many oil companies that the Irish basins are only lightly explored. 



This volume presents a comprehensive review of the results of recent exploration and production data, and points to possible future trends in exploration activity in the area. It includes contributions from most of the major oil companies active in the region, and covers the full geographical and stratigraphical spectrum of the Irish offshore basins, together with some adjacent and geologically related regions; the papers are arranged in a generally clockwise progression around Ireland. 



Publication of the book coincides with the 25th anniversary of the drilling of the first well in the Irish offshore in 1970. The volume will be of particular interest to oil industry professionals and research workers involved in hydrocarbon exploration or with an interest in the sedimen­tary basins offshore Ireland and west of the UK.
