Kinsale Head gas field

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.

The reservoir is a Lower Cretaceous sandstone (Wealden and Greensand) lying at a depth of 2,700 to 3,100 feet.

[5] Operator Kinsale Energy Limited extracted its last commercial quantity of gas on 5 July 2020, after which they ceased production.

In 2008, the gas field was proposed as a potential place for the purpose of carbon dioxide capture and storage.

Southwest Kinsale was later used for gas storage, primarily for the winter months.
