Serica Energy is set to create around 40 jobs for its new Aberdeen office off the back of a major North Sea deal with BP.
The London-headquartered company is set to open a new base in Aberdeen in the summer.
It comes after Serica signed a deal with BP in November to acquire its Bruce, Keith and Rhum (BKR) fields, with work “well underway” to have it completed in Q3 of this year.
Over 100 BP workers, who are mainly offshore-based, are being transferred to Serica in the deal.
