■ IOG is set to cash in on soaring gas prices after reopening its Saturn Banks pipeline.

The North Sea oil and gas firm said production at its Blythe and Elgood gas fields, which shut last month for four weeks of maintenance work, was back up and running.

As a result, IOG expects to resume gas sales and said work is being carried out to avoid shutting down operations in future.

Production at a third field is on track to begin next month. It rose 37pc, or 4.35p, to 16.1p.
