Petrofrac described the Cygnus field as the largest gas discovery in the southern waters of the North Sea in the last 30 years, capable of meeting about 6% of total UK demand for natural gas.

Neptune in January awarded $6.5mn in contracts for integrity management and fabric maintenance at its Cygnus gas platform in the UK to Oceaneering and Stork.

Neptune operates the field with a 38.75% interest, while its partner Spirit Energy, controlled by retailer Centrica, has 61.25%.
