Dunquin (Frontier Exploration Licence 3/04)

The Dunquin partners comprise ExxonMobil (operator), Eni, Repsol, Providence Resources and SOSINA. The Dunquin licence (FEL 3/04) covers 5 blocks (44/18, 44/23, 44/24, 44/29, 44/30) in the South Porcupine Basin, 200km off the South West coast of Ireland, where the water depth is over 1,500m.

 

In August 2009, ExxonMobil, on behalf of the licence partners, notified the Irish Department of the Communications, Energy and Natural Resources that the licence partners had elected to enter the second phase of the licence, which requires a well to be drilled. Subsequently, in July 2010, a site survey was completed on the Dunquin North prospect to assess the site for the drilling of an exploration well.
