Spirit Energy is eyeing a potential final investment decision on the development of its Pegasus field in the UK southern North Sea in 2019 as a tie-back to the Neptune Energy’s producing Cygnus facilities.

Fraser Weir, North Sea asset director at Spirit, the link-up between UK player Centrica and Bayerngas, told the East of England Energy Group’s Southern North Sea 2018 conference in Norwich last week that the company is looking to move forward with the scheme.
