The AIM-traded firm said as a result, Erskine oil and gas production resumed on 29 August.
“This follows the reported work to clear a blockage in the Lomond to Everest condensate export line and the summer maintenance programme on the Lomond platform,” Serica’s board said in a statement.
“Since restarting, production has averaged over 3,000 boe per day net to Serica, with a peak rate of over 5,000 boe on one day demonstrating the strong capability of the reservoir.
“Fluctuations in rates have been due to some restrictions on the Forties Pipeline System with production over the remainder of the year expected to be in the range of 2,500 to 3,000 boe per day, net to Serica.”
