Security of Ireland’s Access to
Commercial Oil Supplies The
Department of Communications, Energy & Natural Resources has recently
published a report on a major study of Ireland’s commercial oil supplies.
The study was carried out by Byrne Ó
Cléirigh in partnership with the London office of Purvin & Gertz (www.purvingertz.com).
The report contains an in-depth analysis of the future demand for oil out
to 2025; where Ireland’s oil supplies – both crude and product – will be
sourced; the significance of the Whitegate Refinery; and the adequacy and
reliability of Ireland’s infrastructure for importing, storing and distributing
petroleum products.
The report also analyses NORA’s need for additional strategic storage
capacity, the cost of such capacity, and where it should be located.
The report is available to download
from the Department’s website by clicking here.
