Still battling with drilling issues, IOG outlined plans for several further cluster developments around its Saturn Banks scheme in a wide-ranging update ahead of its AGM.
IOG hit out at the government’s energy profits levy in its annual results, in which it reported a loss following a raft of delays and production issues across its Saturn Banks project.
IOG has suspended operations at its A2 well on the Southwark field after remediation work failed to boost production rates, prompting another fall in its stock price.
IOG (AIM:IOG) has announced sweeping changes to its board and executive team including the departure of chief executive Andrew Hockey, following another cut to its production guidance and long-running drilling delays.
IOG (AIM:IOG) has again cut its production guidance and will now suspend one of its Southwark wells to deliver first gas on schedule, after fluid losses slow drilling efforts.
IOG says output from the two producing fields in its Saturn Banks project is now stabilising, following a series of outages since first gas in mid-March.
IOG said it is working closely with Bacton Terminal operator Perenco to deal with “frustrating” slow progress towards delivering first gas from its Saturn Banks project.
North sea operator IOG has successfully spudded the first development well at its Southwark field, following delays caused by technical issues with an underwater remotely operated vehicle earlier this week.
An investigation is underway after a rescue ship "made contact" with a Noble Corporation oil rig leg, weeks ahead of a jack-up "issue" leading to work being ceased at a flagship IOG North Sea field.
