Ireland’s hydrocarbon sector is attracting an array of oil and gas industry giants in its 2015 Atlantic Margin Oil and Gas Exploration Licensing Round, with eight companies receiving new acreage in the southern Porcupine Basin as part of the first phase awards.
The second, and final, phase of awards is scheduled for mid-May and will see a range of new acreage awarded to a variety of oil and gas exploration and production firms.
