Providence Resources P.l.c. provided an operational update in relation to the Barryroe field. The field lies in c. 100 meter water depth in the North Celtic Sea Basin and is located c. 50km off the south coast of Ireland. Pursuant to an earlier authorisation under Standard Exploration Licence 1/11, Providence is pleased to confirm that the seabed, shallow geophysical and environmental baseline survey over the K Well drilling location of the Barryroe field has concluded. This survey was commissioned by Providence?s wholly-owned subsidiary, Exola DAC and was successfully completed, without incident, on time and under budget by the Marine Institute?s Celtic Voyager survey vessel.
