Vermilion Energy Ireland maintains corporate offices in Dublin, and operations in County Mayo, including the Bellanaboy Bridge Gas Terminal and community offices in Belmullet.
Founded in 1994, Vermilion is a progressive and socially conscious company that believes our success is due, in part, to our continued focus on ensuring that health, safety and the environment take precedence over all other factors of our business. We directly employ some 800 people globally, who collectively undertake the exploration and development of oil and gas resources with the firm belief that producing energy for the many people and businesses that rely upon it to meet their daily needs and sustain their quality of life is both a great privilege and a great responsibility.
In Ireland, Vermilion’s operations are exclusively focused in the Corrib gas field. We believe that natural gas is a key component of the energy mix in Ireland, as it is the most environmentally friendly fossil fuel and allows for a secure, reliable and cost-effective supply of energy and provides significant benefits to the Irish economy.
In addition to energy security, the Corrib gas field provides:
Irish job creation and retention
Irish taxation revenue
Community investment programmes for local communities in Erris, County Mayo
Limits subsea surface area development footprint, versus other energy source options
May help to displace energy sources with higher CO2 footprints, such as coal
