Enterprise Oil

Enterprise Oil

Enterprise Oil was a former major British independent E&P company in Europe, with core areas of activity in Britain and Ireland, mainland Europe, Brazil and the Gulf of Mexico.

It was initially created to hold the North Sea oil production assets of the then state-owned British Gas; Enterprise Oil was privatised by floatation in February 1984. [http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2000/nov/22/thatcher.politics1]

It was purchased by Royal Dutch Shell Resources in 2002. One of its main assets, the Corrib Gas Field, has proved especially troublesome for Shell.
