Neptune Energy and partner Spirit Energy have announced the start-up of the Cygnus gas field’s 10th
well to date. Operational since December 2016, Cygnus is located in the Southern Gas Basin of the North Sea.
Drilling operations were executed by Borr Drilling’s Prospector 1 jack-up rig.
The beginning of production from this additional well means that Cygnus will now be able to meet the natural gas demands of nearly 2 million homes in the UK.
Drilling of the Cygnus-11 well has already started, with completion expected in the second quarter of 2023.
