IOG PLC, up 41% at 16.52 pence, 12-month range 7.10p-46.00p. The gas infrastructure operator restarts production from both its Blythe and Elgood operations into the Saturn Banks Pipeline systems, as planned, after a shutdown of works. Gas sales are expected to recommence today following re-pressurisation. Final connection, dewatering and backgassing of the system's out section have also been completed. Additional modifications were completes in parallel at the Saturn Banks reception facilities, onshore, to de-risk the potential for future shutdowns. Chief Executive Rupert Newall says: "This was one of our top priorities as the new leadership team and the real commitment shown across the team to meet this key objective bodes well for our continuing work to address recent operational challenges."
