I agree with this analysis with one proviso...The Corrib gas field is depleting... dont know what the timeline is.. perhaps someone can enlighten me. On the plus side there may be a partial refund on the Windfall profit tax on this asset...anyone have hard news?

Supposedly the current leases will run out in 2026/27. However they have not approved any futher licences - non proven reserves could hold another 20-30 years of gas. This occured due to public protest, however the public might change when they start to run out of gas and their bill start increasing substantially.

careful what you ask for because if europeon gas prices take off there will be easy justification for the return of WINDFALL TAXES..dwdc

I believe Corrib had a 10y resource life when they acquired the extra share but it could be extended to 2038 with more investment.
