Irish exploration group Island Oil & Gas, an oil and natural-gas producer, has started seismic surveys at the Old Head of Kinsale and Schull gas fields off the Irish coast.
The program will cover Licenses 4/05 and 5/05 in the Celtic Sea, the Dublin-based company said today in a statement.
The results may allow Island Oil to extend the life of Ireland's only offshore gas production facility, it said.
Island Oil's partners in the Old Head and Schull licenses are Valhalla Oil & Ga and EnCore Oil.
