Exhibit 99.1
Vermilion Energy Inc. Announces Fatality During Construction of Corrib Project in Ireland
CALGARY, Sept. 9, 2013 /CNW/ - Vermilion Energy Inc. ("Vermilion") (TSX, NYSE: VET) regrets to report that a fatal injury occurred this weekend during construction of the Corrib project in Ireland. Vermilion owns an 18.5% working interest in the project, which is operated by Shell E&P Ireland Limited ("SEPIL").
Human safety and environmental protection are Vermilion's highest priorities and we are saddened by this loss of life. We wish to express our sincere condolences to the family and co-workers of the deceased employee of Herrenknecht AG, a sub-contractor at the Corrib project. The incident occurred on the tunnel boring machine that is being utilized in operations at the Corrib tunnel site at Aughoose in County Mayo.
Construction operations on the tunnel have been temporarily suspended while coordinated investigations of the incident by Irish authorities are completed. The integrity of the Corrib tunnel itself was not compromised by the incident. Vermilion, as a non-operated partner in the project, will be working with SEPIL to ensure that the cause of the incident is clearly identified and appropriate steps are taken to ensure the safety of workers before operations are re-established. Vermilion will advise when the investigations are complete and operations have resumed.
