Fancy a tour of Engie E&P UK’s recently-started Cygnus gas development but not a fan of the underwater helicopter escape training you would need for the visit?

Well, the French operator of the UK southern North Sea project has just the present for you.

To celebrate first production at the delayed development in blocks 44/11a and 44/12a, Engie has created a virtual reality tour of the whole complex.

Downloadable on iOS and Android devices — just search “Cygnus Offshore” in your app store — the tour whisks you to the project via drone, allowing you to view all platforms from all angles, with stunning quality graphics.
