The United Kingdom petroleum pipeline network is principally made up of three pipelines systems: the former Government Pipeline and Storage System (GPSS) now the Exolum Pipeline System; the Esso pipelines (principally the mainline and midlines), and the United Kingdom Oil Pipelines (UKOP) and associated pipelines.
The onshore oil and gas resources in the United Kingdom are located in a number of provinces corresponding to prospective sedimentary basins. Provinces and Basins (from south to north) include the Wessex-Channel Basin, Weald Basin, Worcester Basin, Cheshire Basin, East Midlands Province, West Lancashire Basin, NE England Province, Northumberland-Solway Basin, Midland Valley of Scotland, and ...
BPA replaced the pipeline operations group of Shell Mex & BP in the late 1960s and took over the role as the majority operator on the Government Pipeline and Storage System (GPSS). [ 3 ] As originally conceived the pipeline system comprised 1,600 miles of pipelines carrying 7.25 million tons a year of light oils, or 470 million ton miles annually.
The Exolum Pipeline System, formerly the CLH Pipeline System and the Government Pipelines and Storage System (GPSS), is a fuel pipeline system in the United Kingdom. [1] Originally constructed by the government to supply fuel to airfields in World War II, it is now owned by Exolum .
The Forties pipeline system (FPS) is a major pipeline transport network in the North Sea. It is owned and operated by Ineos and carries 30% of the UK's oil, or about 550 thousand barrels per day (87 × 10 ^ 3 m 3 /d) of oil per day, to shore. [ 1 ]
The two types of gas pipelines in the UK are: large diameter high-pressure (up to 85 [28] bar (1200 psi) and 1050 mm (41¼") [28] diameter) pipelines – the type that the NTS uses – and smaller diameter lower pressure pipelines that connect to users who burn gas for heat. The wall thickness of the high-pressure pipelines is up to 0.625 ...

Miller oil was pumped via a 7.5 km-long, 18-inch-diameter (460 mm) export pipeline to the Brae A platform and then onwards via the Forties pipeline system to the mainland. In 2003, BP constructed a new 8.5 km, 16-inch-diameter (410 mm) gas pipeline between the Brae B and Miller platforms to allow gas to be exported from Brae to Miller for use ...
