The Oil and Gas Authority to confirm remaining licences for 28th offshore round:
The Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) is expected to confirm the remaining licences of the 28th offshore round today.
The final tally will bring a close to one of the most active bids in 50 years.
Last year a total of 134 new North Sea exploration licences were awarded by the department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC).
A number of applications are still awaiting approval following environmental assessments.
The licences were confirmed on the same day Andy Samuel was named the new chief executive of OGA.
Today he will announce the remaining successful bids. A confirmation is expected later this morning.
