Cygnus becomes world's first offshore platform available for a virtual tour
LONDON -- Cygnus, the largest single producing gas field in the southern North Sea, is now available for a virtual tour.
You can also go behind the scenes and meet some of the team who keep the installation - which produces enough gas to meet the equivalent demand of 1.5 million UK homes - safe and operational.
On www.spirit-energy.com/cygnus, you can walk from helideck, to the accommodation block and right through to the wellheads, going via two bridges linking the three platforms together.
Spirit Energy has a 61.25% interest in Cygnus, which came onstream in December 2016, and contributes 5% to the UK gas production. The field life is over 20 years, excluding future potential developments and tie-ins.
Cygnus gas field was first discovered in 1988. A group led by Neptune Energy were awarded the license in the 20th round. Subsequent subsurface data analysis, innovative geological thinking and leading-edge geophysics enabled this discovery to become the largest gas field development in the Southern North Sea in over 30 years.
