ECONOMICS
VERY LOW TAX REGIME � Ireland has one of the world's lowest tax regimes for oil and gas exploration meaning more profit.
SHALLOW OFFSHORE � The field is in shallow water meaning less expensive rigs.
UNDER AN EXISTING FIELD AND ASSOCIATED INFRASTRUCTURE � The field is directly underneath the Seven Heads Gas Field, which is producing. As a result, there is already some infrastructure in place both at the field and onshore, meaning development costs will be mitigated.
NEAR TO SHORE � At only 30 miles offshore the field is relatively close to land compared with many North Sea fields, which again means lower development costs.
HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE WELLS � The field is highly productive. Following on from drill results, it was forecast that a 1,000 ft horizontal well could deliver 12,500 B/D plus 11 MMSCF/D totalling 14,300 BOE/D, and that 41 such wells could be used. Obviously they will come on stream in batches, but this does indicate a very high aggregate peak production rate for the field. Read huge revenues.
