Delivering the gas to Ireland
Bringing Corrib gas, a valuable natural resource, to the Irish market poses an exciting engineering challenge. Located some 83 kilometres off the northwest coast of Ireland, the gas is located approximately 3,000 metres below the seabed, in a water depth of almost 350 metres.
Corrib Field and Subsea Technology
Five wells have been drilled 3,000 metres below the seabed at the Corrib field and are ready for production.
The Corrib Gas Pipeline
A pipeline will carry the Corrib gas from the subsea wells to the onshore terminal – a journey of approximately 90 kilometres.
The Gas Terminal
The main purpose of the terminal is to process and dry the gas by removing liquids so that it is suitable to flow into the Bord Gáis Eireann (BGE) pipeline network.
