CORRIB GAS EQUIVALENT TO JUST 5 YEARS' WORTH OF IRISH GAS CONSUMPTION

CORRIB GAS EQUIVALENT TO JUST 5 YEARS' WORTH OF IRISH GAS CONSUMPTION
-- '60% of Irish gas needs' figure reported today is highly misleading --
The gas estimated to be in the Corrib field is equivalent to the amount of gas consumed in Ireland every five or six years.
News media have today been reporting that Corrib "will supply 60% of Ireland's gas needs". This is highly misleading.
What Shell has, in fact, claimed is that "at peak production", Corrib will supply 60% of our gas needs.
