Press Release

Shell to Sea

Shell to Sea press release 21/08/06
Today’s statement from Shell seeking ‘expressions of interest’ for 5
million euros of contracts clearly demonstrates that Shell’s focus is on
PR rather than addressing the core difficulties of the Corrib gas
project.

Given the development cost of the project which is approximately 1,000
million euro, the value of the Corrib gas reserve which is in excess of
10 billion euro, and the enormous profits of Shell and their partners,
the sourcing of 5 million euro among local businesses can be seen as
mere tokens and designed only to create the illusion of local benefits.
The fact of the matter is that, under their current proposal, the vast
majority of Shell’s investment would be to companies outside the region.

Shell’s decision to move forward with work on the Bellanaboy site gives
the lie to their claims to operate with consent and agreement. No
pipeline route has yet been proposed by them and no agreement yet exists for
such a route. In this context the decision to begin work at the gas
processing plant pre-judges the pipeline issue and presents the local
community once again with a fait accompli.

Shell to Sea also notes that the existing Axonics water treatment units
have been declared by the relevant authorities as fully functional and
capable of dealing with all water pollution issues on the Bellanaboy
site.

Finally, Shell to Sea condemns the government’s recent awarding of
further Exploration Licences under the giveaway 1992 Terms. This is all the
more shocking given the government’s acknowledgement that there is now
a demonstrated potential for further finds of hydrocarbon resources. We
once again demand that these projects should be developed with health
and safety prioritised and under a fiscal regime that maximizes local
and national benefit.

Shell E&P Ireland on behalf of the Corrib Gas Partners today announced that they are seeking ‘expressions of interest’ from local businesses to tender for services and work required at the Bellanaboy Bridge terminal to the value of €5million.

The Partners are committed to deliver real and tangible economic benefits in Erris and Co. Mayo more widely and to move the Corrib project forward in partnership with the local community.

Advertisements seeking expressions of interest for site services and sub-contractor work at the Bellanaboy Bridge terminal will be published in local newspapers over the next few weeks. These significant work opportunities for local businesses are just one of several initiatives the Partners will be announcing over the coming weeks around enhancing local benefits, providing local employment and the procurement of services locally.

Terry Nolan, Deputy Managing Director of Shell E&P Ireland (SEPIL) said today,

"On behalf of the Corrib Gas Partners, I am delighted to announce these services and subcontract work opportunities which will create additional local jobs. One of the main concerns expressed by the people of Erris was that the project was not delivering enough tangible local benefits. We listened to what the community was telling us and worked in conjunction with the primary site contractor Roadbridge Ltd. to identify services and work that could be made open to tender to local businesses."

He went on to add:

"Work on the Bellanaboy Bridge terminal site has been suspended for almost a year now and we appreciate that many local people with jobs on the project want to get back to work. The Terminal has been through a rigorous planning process and has full planning permission. The Corrib Partners have agreed to implement all of the recommendations of both the Independent Safety Review and the Mediator’s Report and together with these works announcements today, we believe that it is time now to move this project forward so that it can start to deliver tangible jobs and benefits for the local community."

The first phase of work at the Bellanaboy Bridge terminal is the upgrade and expansion of the Axonics water treatment system in advance of the winter season. This is essential environmental work that must be undertaken to ensure the system can cater for any increases in water volumes over the winter months and to ensure environmental obligations are met.
