Fossil Energy – Production
Neptune Energy commenced production from the 10th well at its operated Cygnus gas field in the UK southern North Sea.
With the start-up of production from the 10th well, the Neptune-operated Cygnus gas facility is now capable of producing enough natural gas to meet the needs of approximately 2 million UK households, underlining the important contribution of Cygnus to UK energy security.
Cygnus also has one of the lowest carbon intensities on the UKCS, at ~4kg of CO2/boe1.
The drilling operation was carried out by Borr Drilling’s Prospector 1 jack-up rig, the first in Borr’s fleet to be equipped with technologies that reduce carbon and nitrogen emissions from operations by up to 95%, and particle matter emissions by more than 85%.
Neptune has now commenced drilling on the 11th well on the Cygnus field, which is expected to begin production in Q2 this year.
