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]
Named Forties because it lay just off the Long Forties Bank, the field began producing oil in September 1975 and was officially inaugurated by Queen Elizabeth II on 3 November 1975. When the project was completed, 400,000 barrels of crude was initially expected to be siphoned off each day and exported through a 36-inch pipeline to landfall at ...
Map of oil and gas fields. This list of oil and gas fields of the North Sea contains links to oil and natural gas reservoirs beneath the North Sea.In terms of the oil industry, "North Sea oil" often refers to a larger geographical set, including areas such as the Norwegian Sea and the UK "Atlantic Margin" (west of Shetland) which are not, strictly speaking, part of the North Sea.
Crude oil from the Forties pipeline undergoes stabilisation and gas processing and treatment at the Kinneil Terminal at Grangemouth before being pumped to a tank farm at Dalmeny on the southern shore of the Firth. The oil is then pumped to the Hound Point terminal where it is loaded onto tankers.
The United Kingdom Oil Pipeline (UKOP) is an oil products pipeline opened in 1969 and connecting the two (then) Shell refineries of Stanlow and Shell Haven (Thames Estuary). UKOP is owned by a consortium of five shareholders Essar Midlands Ltd, BP, Shell, Valero and Total.
The INEOS-owned North Sea Forties pipeline system terminates at the Kinneil processing facility, and surplus crude is exported via pipeline to the Dalmeny tank farm, and subsequently shipped out from the Hound Point marine terminal onto oil tankers of up to 350,000 DWT which are able to navigate the shallow water of the Forth.

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 ...
