An Entity of Type: WikicatNaturalGasFieldsInIreland, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Kinsale Head gas field is a depleted offshore natural gas field in the Celtic Sea, located 50 km (31 mi) off the southern coast of County Cork, Ireland. Discovered in 1971 near the Old Head of Kinsale, it met Ireland's gas needs until 1996. The gas field is located in a water depth of 100 metres and 1,000 metres below the seabed. The field extends over Blocks 49/16, 48/20, 48/25, 49/21. The reservoir is a Lower Cretaceous sandstone (Wealden and Greensand) lying at a depth of 2,700 to 3,100 feet. The gas composition was >99% methane with a calorific value of 1.012 Btu/ cubic foot.

dbo:abstract
  • El Kinsale Head és un dipòsit submarí de gas natural situat a la costa del sud d'Irlanda, descobert el 1971 a cinquanta kilòmetres del , a la mar Cèltica, a 90 metres sota l'aigua, que va abastir gas a Irlanda fins al 1996. La Marathon Oil's Irish subsidiaria de la Marathon Petroleum Ireland Ltd., va començar a explorar la costa del sud d'Irlanda fent introspeccions buscant dipòsit de petroli i, el 1971, va descobrir un dipòsit de gas comercialment viable; el 1978 va començar a abastir gas natural al país. Un cop va començar a declinar passant d'un de 99 per any el 1999 a 8 el 2014, el camp de gas es va començar a explotar també com a lloc potencial de captura de diòxid de carboni i emmagatzematge.

The gas composition was >99% methane with a calorific value of 1.012 Btu/ cubic foot. Operator Kinsale Energy Limited extracted its last commercial quantity of gas on 5 July 2020, after which they ceased production. Decommissioning works began immediately afterwards and are expected to conclude in 2023. These works will include the removal of both platforms. During its 42 years in operation, the Kinsale gas field produced an estimated 2 trillion cubic feet (57 billion cubic metres) of natural gas. A floating wind turbine project is under development for the area. (en)
