James Buckee, chairman of the North Sea-focused oil and gas group Enquest, has taken advantage of weakness in the share price to up his stake.

He took 50,000 shares at 97.75p a time, spending a total of £48,875. He now has 481,617 shares in the company.

Shares in Enquest have taken a sharp dive since the start of the month, when Buckee took 50,000 shares at 110.2p a time. The shares fell after Enquest said that production from its Conrie field, which was discovered earlier this year, came on production at lower than expected rates.
