HIGHER OUTPUT

The second of a two-well programme is due to come onstream during 2023, with both wells helping to maintain production, said the company in its half-year results.

Neptune also plans to increase output during Q3 2022 with contributions from Snøhvit (Norway), Touat (Algeria) and the K2b-A8 sidetrack (Netherlands) due to come onstream during August.

Higher production is additionally available from fields shut-in for maintenance during Q2.

Neptune plans temporary shutdown at Cygnus, F3 and NOGAT pipeline (Netherlands), along with maintenance and export restrictions at Adorf and Ringe (Germany).
