IOG PLC, down 53% at 7.80 pence, 12-month range 7.10p - 46.00p. The North Sea-focused gas and infrastructure operator says that the clean-up phase for Southwark A2 has taken longer than planned following a hydraulic stimulation phase. Gas rates from A2, to-date, has also been lower than expected, with a maximum stabilised rate of 4.2 million standard cubic feet per day via coiled tubing, at a flowing wellhead pressure of 456 pounds per square inch. Chief Operating Officer Dougie Scott says the low gas rate and apparent formation water production at this stage of the A2 well clean-up is "unexpected and disappointing".

Omega Diagnostics Group PLC, down 11% at 3.42 pence, 12-month range 2.12p - 16.97p. The medical diagnostics firm expects lower-than-expected revenue and significant back-end phasing of orders in financial 2023, but a stronger opening order book for financial 2024. Notes "several headwinds" impacting its ability to fulfil orders ahead of year-end on March 31. Says its current order book is GBP2.5 million, and further orders are expected, but says a number of orders will move into financial 2024. Full-year revenue from the Health & Nutrition business is now expected between GBP7.5 million to GBP8.0 million for the year ended March 31. This will result in loss before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation from continuing operations of around GBP1.0 million, Omega explains.
