Larne/Lough Neagh (Licence PL1/10)
(Nautical 20%)
The Larne/Lough Neagh basin is underexplored in onshore terms but it appears to contain all the prospective elements to warrant further exploration of this large Permo-Triassic basin. Gravity and magnetic studies have given credence to the possibility of encountering structural complexes which are similar to the prolific East Irish Sea basin.
As an initial step in the exploration campaign a 275km regional 2D Vibroseis survey, the first ever acquired in the area, commenced in September 2011 and this will form the basis for understanding of the hydrocarbon potential of the basin. Northern Ireland
