Question
To ask the Scottish Government what assurances it has (a) requested and (b) received regarding energy supplies via the Forties Pipeline System.
Answer
Scottish Government officials raised this question with INEOS on 29 November 2023 and have since received confirmation that the refinery does not currently process significant volumes of FPS derived crude, with the majority of the asset’s feedstock being imported. The business noted that, given the historical throughput of the FPS, there is sufficient capacity to process any additional volumes in the future.
