Shell to Sea is the greatest load of manure going

They're hated by locals in Belmullet (which funding from shell has turned into one of the most beautiful villages in Ireland)

Nothing to do with the video. He just is.

If you'd met him you'd agree.

Or else you wouldn't.

But you'd be wrong.

if the video is edited in a way to make these things out to be facts then can someone give me a fact based what are written in the terms of this agreement and an online reliable source for the numbers involved

no, there is no reliable source for any information relating to the amount of gas and oil, its worth or what shell really paid / is paying for it . the only factual evidence you will find with anything to do with this whole project is evidence of the pipe being over-engineered for safety, the pressure of the gas being far lower than the pipes rated pressure , and shell pumping lots of money into the local community , there is no scientifically backed argument against the pipe at all

Im interested in the facts the video portrays about Norway and statoils agreement and the 90% they get in tax from statoil bringing it out
what the agreement in place is and what are the terms and what we get out of it

Our terms as estimated by goodbody were that shell would contribute over €3 billion to our economy over the span of the project , 800 jobs & €521 million during construction , 130 longterm jobs resulting in about 60% of our gas supplied by it.

Shell paid for this back in the late 90s i believe, the amount is disputed but believed to be in the hundreds of millions

ok, so there is no possibity to tax what they bring to the surface, just a lump some compensation type payment. really they literally have bought a gold mine for buttons

no, that part hasnt been finalised / can be revisited , theyve taken nothing up thus far , whatever was sold from here they would have to pay tax in Ireland anyway and the cost of labour and everything else will go to here, their preliminary figures put the government receiving over €3 billion. considering the field is worth less than double that then Id say were doing well

Agree. We should find and keep our own oil.

Oh wait, we cant afford the hundreds of millions it costs to look for it. And all of the previous efforts to find oil, with one or two exceptions, have been unsuccessful.

Better idea -get foreigners to come here, spend hundreds of millions looking for oil, have a laugh at them if they dont find any, but if the fec*ers find any of our oil, then they should fec* off and leave us with our oil.

Now isnt that a great plan. Guaranteed to sort out our problems. Well done to all who object to foreigners exploiting all of our oil.

Get real.

i think a better solution would be to keep at least 50% of profits made on any oil found, like what norway do. still leaves a lot of profit for the companies.

Norway takes 90% in taxes.

What would that have anything to do with anything?

Well considering I used to live in Belmullet I think I have a decent idea of what the general consensus towards the protesters is and the vast majority of locals welcome the money shell have put into the village

The video is the greatest load of uninformed bullsith. Norwegian oil is shallow oil, that means the rigs almost touch the floor. Our POTENTIAL oil which we are not sure it even exists is deep oil a much more difficult and expensive process at drilling, now if you are up on current affairs we are broke, Now our government could risk 1 to 5 billion in finding then developing a potential field.

Or we could get on our hands and knees and pray and hope Shell come in with their expertise and they take the risk.

But they aren't, only 15 licences were applied to drill in the Celtic sea, over a 100 was applied to drill in the North Sea.

Of course it is but the guys who put this sort of stuff together aren't actually interested in facts. They're more interested in seeming like they have the answers and then they complain that nobody is listening to them (or everybody is too lazy to do what they think is the solution).

But its complete rubbish.

Really Irish oil is a pipe dream, forget about it, it will not get us out of trouble. And even if they do find a field, it wont start pumping it to the open market till 10 years or more.

But why let facts stand in the way of a good ol' rant that shows how 'anti-establishment' you are?

The guy that made the video knows f*ck all about anything to be honest. He's full of bullsh*t talk about peace and love and blah blah.

I like how OP starts a thread calling people lazy with a video with completely arseway "facts".

Lazy is believing everything that video told you and not having the initiative to check the wealth of information and facts for yourself.

My name is URL

Gotta love these threads.. most people become oil prospectors with an insider's lowdown. The rest are smelly hippies with ties to an unrelated protest group.

It couldn't go much better for those who actually stand to gain. Divide & conquer and all that jazz. These proposals were first put forward in the 90's, and since then the value of what will eventually become a salable commodity will have increased by ~500%.

But no.. our glorious overlords weren't shortsighted when they agreed to terms without taking into consideration the volatility of various markets or improvements in technologies. And shur it's too late to do anything about it now.

There's pretty much no energy-independece in Ireland, and there never will be as long as people see the short-selling of the little amount of resources we do have as a good thing.

No, you're fupping lazy because you allow some random Youtube video to inform you of the situation without getting up off your arse and making your own mind up based on the facts. If you had bothered with even a cursory glance over the facts you'd see that comparing Ireland to Norway in such a manner is like comparing Ireland to China in terms of population. We can't adopt the Norwegian approach because we simply don't have Norway's abundance of easily exploitable resources. Why can't people understand that?

Mmmm, an how would we spend this mythical money?

Me thinks it would be spent on political party cronies, hangers on an lazy ****ers.

Indeed. I watched that documentary on Channel 4 (The Pipe). Showed a core of them for what they are.
