Gas reserves off the Island's coast could be worth anywhere between £10 million and £6 billion to the taxpayer.
So says Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall after he was asked about how much the Isle of Man stood to make from Manx company Crogga's gas exploration licence.
In Tynwald this week, Central Douglas MHK Chris Thomas asked him to make a statement about the project.
Mr Crookall said despite the estimates, it was difficult to say exactly how much gas was under the sea floor and how much it would be worth:
Island businesses targeted in phishing campaign
Manx Care's highest-paid worker earned £451k
Dates announced for new format of cycling event
Minister can't say about specifics of bail breaches
Government income from nursing care placements rises
Tyson Fury's move to Island confirmed
Students invited to apply for paid summer placements
Heritage body's land totals thousands of acres
