Operator Neptune Energy has started an infill drilling campaign at Cygnus, its gas field in the North Sea. The work will result in an additional tenth well that will supply gas to 2 million homes in the UK.
Using the Prospector jack-up rig, activities are being executed by Borr Drilling. Prospector is designed to reduce carbon and nitrogen emissions by up to 95%, while particle matter emissions can be reduced by over 85%.
Completion of the new well is expected later this year.
Neptune Energy owns a 38.75% operating stake in Cygnus, with Spirit Energy, which owns the remaining 61.25% share, being its only partner.
