	6/13/2011 - PROVIDENCE COMMENCES 3D SEISMIC ACQUISITION IN NORTH CELTIC SEA
Providence Resources has, on behalf of itself and its partners, commenced its 3D seismic acquisition project in the north Celtic Sea, offshore Ireland. The survey, which is expected to be completed within two weeks, forms part of the planned pre-development drilling program on the Barryroe oil discovery. Providence operates Barryroe (50%) with partners San Leon Energy (30%) and Lansdowne Oil & Gas (20%). Using a vessel supplied by Polarcus Limited, the 3D seismic survey will be used to assist in the pre-development drilling program designed to progress Barryroe to first oil. The drilling of Barryroe is scheduled to commence late this summer, with the GSF ARCTIC III semisubmersible rig already contracted for the drilling program.
