The licence covers 996km² over blocks 55/13, and parts of blocks 55/7, 55/8, 55/12, 55/17 and 55/19.

"The extensions on our three existing prospective licence areas allow us to carry out the agreed work programmes currently underway, which are economical and fully funded."

The company has also extended its Deep Kinsale option until the end of 2015, in order to allow further talks with potential farm-in partners.

Fastnet Oil & Gas CEO Carol Law said: "The extensions on our three existing prospective licence areas allow us to carry out the agreed work programmes currently underway, which are economical and fully funded.

"The extension of the deadline to exercise the Deep Kinsale Option allows us to continue our farm-out discussions, and is enhanced by the recent farm-in by Kinsale Energy to Lansdowne’s nearby SEL4/07."
