Released Irish Seismic Data

Minimize drilling risk and downtime in Ireland with detailed seismic data

Are you ready for Europe's biggest frontier opportunity?

As the official agent for Ireland's Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment, IHS Markit offers 350,000km of 2D and twenty-five 3D released seismic data from offshore and onshore Ireland seismic surveys. With coverage of all major prospective basins, you can:

Access all available released seismic
Understand regional structure and source / reservoir distribution
Evaluate acreage
Generate prospects
Assess risk
Map faults and horizons
Identify hydrocarbon indicators such as gas chimneys
Analyze play fairways
