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.
