186. To ask the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if there will be a need for the State to carry out seismic surveys if unitisation was applied; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23302/13]

In the event that a future producing oil or gas field were to extend over more than one exploration authorisation, or more than a single jurisdiction, then the principle of unitisation would be of relevance. Existing geological and geophysical data, including seismic surveys, would in the first instance inform the unitisation process.
