🔥 Barryroe

Barryroe is an undeveloped oil and gas field in the Atlantic Ocean due south of County Cork, Ireland. Close to the exhausted Kinsale Head gas field, it is as close as 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to the Kinsale Head existing pipeline. The discovery is at a water depth of 100 metres (330 ft). Several attempts were made to find a commercial field at the site in the 1970s, but, although they struck oil, none were commercially viable. It has been rated as the equivalent of a large North Sea oil field.
