IGas Energy PLC - Lincoln-based oil and gas producer - Pretax loss narrows to GBP14.2 million in six months to June 30 from GBP38.1 million a year prior, revenue grows to GBP16.6 million from GBP10.5 million. Net production averaged 2,005 barrels of oil equivalent per day in first-half, up from 1,940 year-on-year. Says without impact of Covid-19, production in first-half would have been 2,185 boepd. Full year net production is forecast at 2,000 boepd. Declares no interim dividend.
Signs memorandum of understanding with SSE Heat Networks Ltd for a geothermal district heating project in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire as part of geothermal strategy, but awaits government support.
