Egdon Resources reported that gas production resumed from the Ceres gas field on 17 September 2011, following prolonged maintenance shut-down of the BP Cleeton Platform and associated infrastructure.

Total field production is initially expected to be around 21 million cubic feet of gas per day.

Egdon holds a 10% interest in Ceres and net Egdon production after Backout (the allocation of Ceres gas to replace the production at the Mercury and Neptune fields which have been shut-in to allow Ceres production) is expected to be around 1.2 million cubic feet of gas per day (200 barrels of oil equivalent per day).
