The company has restored production at the Monteverdese Concession surface facility that was shut-in for the third quarter and part of the second quarter.
Total revenues attributable to the company's onshore (excluding revenues from assets sold to CIL in the period) and offshore gas production in the third quarter amounted to €4.3m (Q2 2012: €4.2m).
Dr. Bill Higgs, Chief Executive of Mediterranean Oil and Gas, said: "Production has remained strong for the third quarter, which has enabled us to sustain free cashflow. We are pleased to have restarted production at Monteverdese, onshore Italy, and hope to complete the sale of non-core assets, announced recently, by the end of the year."
The share price rose 1.67% to 15.25p in early trading.
