Showing zero again. Still suspect a problem with figures, as Monday's were normal and would seem strange to shut it down at Midnight, unless anyone has a better idea of the actual day start and finish times?

System fault somewhere as there are other producers showing as 0.0000 for the last two days...
"The plant seems to have steadied now but we do have a two/three day shutdown planned for June"
The above was taken directly from Richard Herbert's answer to one of the last round of IQ's. This was planned, presumably in relation to the permanent pipework but it doesn't say specifically.
Howey,
The plant shutdown in June is very likely related to annual plant testing & certification as it is probably about right from the commissioning date.

Looks like this extended outage has just help push up up the gas price.
(There are several similar so guess the volume adds up to a relevant amount) :
Norway’s Gassco modifies planned gas outage
13:01
OSLO, June 13 (Reuters) – Norwegian gas system operator Gassco revised the details of a planned outage at Dvalin Tuesday, modifying its end date.
The following are details of the outage versus Gassco’s previous guidance:
Affected facility: Dvalin Scope of outage: -9.0 mcm
Start of outage: 2023-02-16T06:00:00+0100
Expected end of outage: 2023-07-15T06:00:00+0200 VS 2023-07-01T06:00:00+0200
Gassco comment: Uncertain duration

Wow! Thank you for your posts anyoneforcricket and RedbullRJ.
Thanks ocelot.
Last time the July future was at 88 ish was around 2nd May when Angus share price was around 1.6p. What else is so different that it shouldn't be that now or higher?
https://www.barchart.com/futures/quotes/NFN23/overview
That is a massive change in the futures market in one afternoon. Is there anything major that has occurred that could have caused this?
As per my 13:39 post, report that the Norwegian shutdown has been extended:
"EUROPE GAS – Prices rebound after Norwegian outage extended
14:44
(Updates story after outage extended at Nyhamna gas processing plant)
LONDON, June 13 (Reuters) – Wholesale British and Dutch gas prices rebounded on Tuesday afternoon, after earlier losses, after an outage at Norway's Nyhamna gas processing plant was extended.
The Dutch benchmark front-month contract was 3.88 euros higher at 34.10 euros per megawatt hour (MWh) by 1338 GMT, while the day-ahead price rose by 4.20 euros to 33.50 euros/MWh.
The British July price rose by 9.30 euros to 85.80 euros/MWh.
A maintenance outage at Norway's Nyhamna gas processing plant has been extended by almost a month to mid-July due to problems with the plant's cooling system, operator Shell said.
Shell extended the outage to July 15 from 21 June, according to an update via the transparency pages of Norwegian gas infrastructure operator Gassco.
Nyhamna processes gas from the Ormen Lange and Aasta Hansteen fields, with the outage cutting 79.8 million cubic metres (mcm) of export capacity per day.
"This has upturned the market as prices were lower this morning," a gas trader said.
Norway is carrying out several maintenance outages at gas infrastructure assets, which does carry the risk of extensions, the trader added. NSEA/AM"
When I was wobbling this morning and thinking of selling the gas price was down 5% or so. I’d be kicking myself if I’d sold and seen the price now - up 12.38% to 85p and as high as almost 90p (it was 54p last week).
European natural gas futures rose sharply on Tuesday after outages were extended at three major Norwegian gas plants and fields.
Month-ahead Dutch benchmark futures rose as much as 16.6%, reversing earlier declines with the facilities now set to remain offline until the middle of July. The outages will affect major facilities including Ormen Lange, Nyhamna and Aasta Hansteen, according to notices posted by network operator Gassco AS.
The moves signal that the market still remains sensitive to supply shocks, with traders balancing out sluggish industrial demand and high inventory levels as the region prepares for the upcoming winter. Prices have been volatile in the past week amid an array of competing factors, including plant outages and the onset of unusually hot weather in Europe and Asia, which could raise cooling needs and competition for fuel imports ...

Thanks for that info ocelot. However, I would think that this is only going to be a short blip in the gas price as these Norwegian outages will be sorted out soon enough and will not have a long-term impact. After seeing your post I think that this will just be a short-term spike and should not make any difference to the long-term gas price, so i don't think that we should assume that gas prices are going up.
The current gas price isn't significant, it's the fact that a transient issue has caused a spike suggesting the market is still very much on a knife edge.
It’s undoubtedly true that the gas market remains on a knife edge, but prices usually tend to recover this time of year having reached a year low at the beginning of June. Moreover, gas prices were already high for the winter. This spike is affecting next month’s prices and brings with it an almost immediate cash boost.
Ab76 if that is the case then this is definitely good news for us.
Gas is up to 92p now. When it was last as high, Angus was trading at 1.5p and the sidetrack hadn’t yet succeeded.
Hello all. It's all been a little boring, almost to the point where I posted the clip of Vyvyan hitting Rick with the cricket bat in the Young Ones!
However, this is something that could potentially make things a little more interesting! I've seen stats posted in a few places on the electricty generation of the UK at the moment and more than half is using gas. Coupled with the apparent issues in Norway, perhaps a little jump in gas prices could give us a boost!
