Bruce, Keith and Rhum
As operator, Serica has invested in its assets and replaced reserves
Bruce, Keith & Rhum
Serica is owner and operator of the Bruce (98%), Keith (100%) and Rhum (50%) assets consisting of over 25 wells, three bridge-linked platforms and extensive subsea pipelines and infrastructure that tie-in Rhum, Keith and the Western Area of Bruce to the Bruce facilities. Collectively, these assets produced an average of 19,800 boe/d in 2024, and significantly contribute to the UK gas demands.

Keith
The Keith oil field is located in block 9/8a in the Northern North Sea, 6.4 km to the southwest of Bruce. A well intervention to re-instate production from the K1 well, which has not produced since 2022, was successfully completed in May 2024, and is expected to come online in Q4.
