Marine Hydrocarbons Sub Deposit Type Areas

The Geological Survey Ireland (GSI), as partner and Work Package 7 (Minerals) leader of EMODnet Geology Phase III, are compiling information on marine hydrocarbon deposits. EMODnet partners are submitting the spatial extent of mapped deposits and established information; here you can view data collated thus far. Oil and gas deposits include information such as deposit type, deposit sub type, economic feasibility, scale, status, operator, block name, data provider, host rock, area, depth to resource, references and comments. These are the same as the main Marine Hydrocarbons point and area layers but are based on the “Sub Deposit Type” – of which there are 6 classes – Oil, Condensate, Gas, Shale Gas, Coal and Unclassified.
