Fossil Energy – Cygnus Gas Field
Neptune Energy and its partner, Spirit Energy, announced production has commenced from the 11th well at its operated Cygnus gas field in the southern North Sea, unlocking much-needed additional supplies and supporting UK energy independence.
The new well is expected to produce approximately 4,000 boepd, enough gas to heat approximately 200,000 UK homes. Together with the 10th well which started up earlier this year, the Cygnus facility is expected to produce enough gas per day to meet the needs of around 1.9 million UK households.
The Cygnus field continues to have one of the lowest carbon intensities on the UK Continental Shelf.
The 10th and 11th wells were drilled by Borr Drilling’s Prospector 1 jack-up rig.
