Where’s our black gold?

With Providence drilling only one appraisal well so far, potential farm-out partners may want more evidence.
“There is a discovery there, the question is what is commercially recoverable,” said David Round, an analyst at BMO Capital Markets in London. “They may still find a partner, though the terms might not be as lucrative as they originally envisaged.”
Providence’s difficulties in finding a partner may have been amplified by past exploration failures in offshore Ireland. Some 158 wells have been drilled over past 45 years in Irish waters. Only four commercial gas fields have been found.

Members of An ARAN (Animal Rights Action Network) outside the Department of Agriculture, Kildare Street, Dublin

The Department is planning to kill 12,000 badgers in what protestors call a “misguide effort” to stop the spread of TB .

ARAN writes:

“Over the weekend, the Department of Agriculture in Dublin announced plans to slaughter 12,000 badgers in Ireland over the next two years, as part of a “cull” to stop the spread of TB.
But science is on our side when it comes to arguing that a badger “cull” will not stop the spread of TB. In fact, it is the poor, beleaguered badger that will be the real victim here. These iconic Irish animals will be trapped by vicious snares and may be caught in these horrific wire instruments of cruelty for hours or even days, until the ‘contractors’ arrive to shoot the animals dead. Problem solved? Absolutely not.”
