Island Oil & Gas starts drilling Old Head of Kinsale Well, offshore Ireland

Island Oil & Gas PLC said it has started drilling well 49/23-1 at the Old Head of Kinsale in the Celtic Sea, offshore Ireland.

The company said it spudded the well last night using a rig owned and operated by Petrolia Drilling and plans to drill to a total depth of around 4,220 feet.

Island said it then plans, subject to regulatory approval, to move the rig to Donegal Basin where it will drill a well on the Inishbeg prospect.
