    Corrib gas development controversy

    Enterprise Oil's discovery of the Corrib gas field preceded a prolonged controversy over the project's environmental effects, planning approvals, pipeline route, safety concerns, and community opposition. Shell became the principal developer after acquiring Enterprise Oil, so the later dispute is chiefly associated with Shell's development of the field rather than with Enterprise Oil as an ongoing independent company.
