Production from Cygnus
The Cygnus conventional gas field recovered 54.48% of its total recoverable reserves, with peak production in 2020. The peak production was approximately 0.96 thousand bpd of crude oil and condensate and 256.00 Mmcfd of natural gas. Based on economic assumptions, production will continue until the field reaches its economic limit in 2042. The field currently accounts for approximately 3% of the country’s daily output.
Remaining recoverable reserves
The field is expected to recover 71.63 Mmboe, comprised of 0.70 Mmbbl of crude oil & condensate and 425.55 bcf of natural gas reserves. Cygnus conventional gas field reserves accounts 0.02% of total remaining reserves of producing conventional gas fields globally.
