The Claim

Neptune Deep contains about 100 billion cubic meters of recoverable natural gas across the Domino and Pelican South fields.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

Available evidence consistently describes Neptun Deep as having about 100 bcm of recoverable natural gas across the Domino and Pelican South fields. That figure is repeated by the project operators, reflected in a European Commission approval notice, and echoed by industry reporting. The main caveat is that it is a project estimate of recoverable volume, not a final certified reserve number.

Caveats

  • The 100 bcm figure is an estimated recoverable project volume, not a final certified reserve figure.
  • Publicly available field-level numbers are less transparent and do not always map cleanly onto the combined project estimate.
  • Some secondary sources cite wider ranges, but they do not displace the repeated ~100 bcm figure used in official project and regulatory materials.
