Enegi Oil Plc is an independent oil and gas company. Current operations are focused on opportunities around the Port au Port Peninsula in Newfoundland, Canada and the Clare Basin in County Clare, Ireland.
The Port au Port Peninsula is located in western Newfoundland, which, although lightly explored, is in an active petroleum system with light oil having been discovered on a number of occasions. The Clare Basin is located in western Ireland and initial technical studies show that it has the potential to contain shale gas.
Our mission is to drive value through the identification and acquisition of oil and gas assets that can be rapidly developed into production.
Our approach is to develop our assets profitably while recognising that we have a role to play in the development of the communities in which we work and the protection of the environment in the regions where we operate.

We believe there are several key elements in achieving our objective, including:
Our geographical areas of interest include Canada and Ireland, both of which have a well established hydrocarbon industry.

Enegi’s current operations are focused on opportunities on and around the Port au Port Peninsula in Newfoundland, Canada and the Clare Basin in County Clare, Ireland. The Port au Port Peninsula is located in western Newfoundland, which, although lightly explored, is in an active petroleum system with light oil having been discovered on a number of occasions. The Clare Basin is located in western Ireland and initial technical studies show that it has the potential to contain shale gas.

The Group’s working interests in Newfoundland are held through an onshore petroleum lease, PL2002-01, and two offshore exploration licenses, EL1070 and EL1116. Working interest in Ireland is held through an onshore petroleum licensing option, ON11/1. For further information on the lease, the licences and the licensing option, please view Lease & Licences page.
It is estimated that approximately 35 per cent of conventional, light crude oil produced in Canada in 2010 came from the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The Province currently has a 115,000 barrels of oil per day refinery, and there is also a transhipment terminal servicing the offshore petroleum industry that has a storage capacity of three million barrels. Newfoundland and Labrador is strategically positioned on international shipping lanes, giving unique access to global petroleum markets.

Based on analogue basin reviews and source rock modelling, it is estimated that the Atlantic Basins offshore Ireland have an unproved potential of at least 10 billion boe. Ireland has an extensive gas pipeline and processing infrastructure, and a LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) plant has been proposed.
Canada
The petroleum lease, PL2002-01, allows for the production of hydrocarbons from an onshore area on the Port au Port Peninsula, western Newfoundland. The lease was issued in 2002, and is the first and only onshore production lease granted by the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

PL2002-01 contains the discovered field, Garden Hill South, as well as two other leads, Garden Hill Central and Garden Hill North. In 2010, initial sedimentalogical and geochemical studies were performed on PL2002-01 which indicated the presence of a further possible lead.

Exploration licence EL1070 confers rights to explore for petroleum in an offshore area off the Port au Port Peninsula, western Newfoundland. The license was issued on the 15th January 2002 to Canadian Imperial Venture Corporation (CIVC) for a total license period of 9 years. The license is split into two consecutive periods. During the first period, the interest holder is required to drill or spud and diligently pursue one exploratory well in order to continue to the second period.
EL1070 contains a conventional prospect, Shoal Point, and a less conventional, shallower shale play.

Ireland
In February 2011, Enegi was informed by the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources in Ireland that it had been awarded an onshore petroleum licensing option, ON11/1. ON11/1 covers an area of approximately 495 km2 within the Clare Basin in County Clare, Ireland. The Clare Basin is within the same fault system trend as the Company’s prospect/leads and discovery in Newfoundland.
