Project Description
The Shannon prospect is situated in Licensing Option 11/12, about 45 miles (72 kilometers) off the west of Ireland in 984 feet (300 meters) of water. Providence operates the license with a 66.66 percent stake.

Enterprise Oil (now part of Shell) drilled the 18/25-2 exploration well on the Shannon prospect in 1999, however the Corrib reservoir was not encountered. Enterprise subsequently interpreted the reservoir to be faulted out at the well location. As Enterprise’s pre-drill map demonstrate a significant structural closure covering 5,683 acres (23 square kilometers), the LO 11/12 partners believe that Shannon warrants a complete re-evaluation in the context of any remaining resource potential.

Providence IDs Two Prospects in LO 11/12
Type: Status Update

Apr. 2012 - Providence Resources believes it has identified two gas prospects approximately 45 miles off the west coast of Ireland, and close to Shell's Corrib gas field. Providence said that an initial technical evaluation of Licensing Option 11/12 has revealed the presence of two prospects in the Slyne Basin that it has called "Kylemore" and "Shannon" - both similar in age to the Corrib field. The Kylemore prospect is interpreted as a mid-basinal inverted four-way dip-closed anticline based on a combination of 2D and 3D seismic data. The most recent mapping of the Kylemore prospect indicated that it is structurally directly analogous to the Corrib gas field, with volumetric analysis based on available maps indicating potential gas in place of up to 228 billion standard cubic feet. The Shannon structure, which was drilled by Enterprise Oil in 1999, demonstrates significant structural closure covering around 9 square miles, the LO 11/12 partners believe that Shannon warrants a complete reevaluation in the context of any remaining resource potential. The company plans to apply modern seismic processing technologies to the available 3D seismic data in order to better quantify any remaining resource potential in the area.
