Providence Resources PLC (AIM:PVR, OTC:PVDRF) told investors that the well site survey for the Barryroe project is now imminent.
The Celtic Voyager survey vessel mobilised on 24 October to Barryroe and once underway it will take up to seven days to complete.
The programme will include a seabed, shallow geophysical and environmental baseline survey. It is a precursor to a proposed drilling of a well.
“The directors of Providence Resources believe that we have a compelling proposition with regards to the Barryroe prospect,” said Providence executive chair James Menton.
“We continue to focus on moving ahead with this project in these challenging times of energy supply and security.”
The survey was commissioned by Providence and partner Lansdowne Oil & Gas (AIM:LOGP), which own 80% and 20% of the project respectively.
