Unconventional Gas in Ireland
About the Event
Early indications show that the Leitrim/Fermanagh region could hold enough unconventional natural gas to supply Ireland’s needs for 12 years and provide a much needed stimulus to engineering jobs and investment in the energy sector. This could be a game-changer for supply in Ireland; currently 95% of gas demand is met by UK imports. Richard Moorman CEO Tamboran Resources, who hold onshore exploration licences on both sides of the border, will discuss:
-
The potential and future benefits of the shale gas opportunity; including the employment potential for technically qualified personnel,
-
The hydraulic fracturing technology;
-
Their company’s ambitions and plans for Ireland
