The Corrib Gas Story
Watch the Corrib Gas Story – and understand our challenges and our successes, as we move ahead to bring Corrib gas on-stream in North-West Ireland. Gas from the Corrib field, 83km offshore, will be piped directly to the Bellanaboy Bridge gas terminal located approximately 9 km from the shoreline in County Mayo.
One Million Hours Worked Safely at the Corrib Gas Terminal
The more than 900 workers on the Corrib Gas terminal site at Bellanaboy have celebrated the achievement of 1,000,000 man-hours worked without a lost time incident. This major safety milestone was reached on November 3rd 2008. This DVD shows the team at work, helping to deliver one of the most challenging energy projects ever undertaken in Ireland.
Remotely Operated Vehicle – footage from the Corrib gas field
The Atlantic Ocean is 350 metres deep above the Corrib Reservoir. This water depth is unsuitable for divers so construction and maintenance work will be carried out by “remotely operated vehicles” a type of underwater robot.
Erris Residents visit Holland Gas Plants
Padraig McGrath and Paddy Cosgrove, are a Rossport farmer and a retired Bellanaboy teacher who travelled to Northern Holland to see first hand how a rural community lives with Gas pipelines and a terminal. This DVD shows the interaction between the Dutch rural farming community and two rural men from Rossport and Bellanaboy in North County Mayo.
Micro-tunnelling Pipelay Technology
Trenchless micro tunneling methods will be used to construct the proposed onshore pipeline route in the two locations where it crosses Sruwaddacon Bay. This will avoid disturbance to the surface of the Bay during construction and will thus minimise environmental impacts.
Peat Removal Programme
The removal of 450,000 tonnes of peat from the foot print of the bellanaboy Gas Terminal site in 2007 and its deposition at Shrahmore was very successful. The transportation finished ahead of schedule over 100 workers were hired by Bord na Mona during the haulage and deposition.
2007 Drilling Campaign
Life onboard the Drilling rig Sedco 711 which drilled the wells for the Corrib Gas project. The DVD depicts activity on drilling rig out on the Atlantic Ocean off the west Coast of Mayo.
