Information on all petroleum authorisations is updated and published on a quarterly basis on gov.ie (www.gov.ie/en/publication/10d43-acreage-reports-and-concession-maps/). The most recent such report and concession map cover the three month period ending 31 March 2022. In addition, Section 57 of the Petroleum and Other Minerals Development Act 1960 requires that I lay before the Houses of the Oireachtas every six months a report detailing all petroleum authorisations extant and granted during the period of the report. The last such report laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas was in respect of the six-month period ending 31 December 2021 and is available at www.gov.ie/en/collection/5da3e-six-monthly-reports-to-the-oireachtas-on-petroleum-exploration-and-development-in-ireland/
Furthermore, information related to applications to undertake activities under a Petroleum Authorisation are also made available on gov.ie
(www.gov.ie/en/collection/current-applications-for-statutory-petroleum-consent-notices/)
Neither I nor my Department comment on the potential of individual authorisations.
