![Blocks 3/24c and 3/29c near Rhum are up for grabs.](https://wpcluster.dctdigital.com/energyvoice/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2019/08/rhum-649x564.jpg)
The Oil and Gas Authority has offered up fresh acreage near the Rhum field in the Northern North Sea.
A restricted “out of round” offering has been made for two blocks – 3/24c and 3/29c – which lie near the Serica-operated field.
The offer is open for 90 days and will close on 30th October.
A decision is expected in the fourth quarter of the year.
Serica acquired operatorship of Rhum, along with the Bruce and Keith fields, following a series of deals last year, including a high-profile agreement with BP.
In February Serica said it would push ahead with plans which had been shelved by BP to re-enter an old well at Rhum which should boost output.
