Financial Times: Tamboran discovers gas field in Ireland

Tamboran Resources, a Canadian-based shale gas exploration company, has said it has discovered a gas field with potential reserves of 4.4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas straddling the border of Northern Ireland and the Republic.

The company said it was confident it could develop a shale gas project based on the discovery, which follows the granting of licences to conduct early stage analysis in both jurisdictions. Tamboran estimates it could create up to 1,200 jobs on both sides of the Irish border if it can attract investors for a multibillion pound extraction project.
