North Sea Oil: Pipelines
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the closure of the Forties pipeline closure on UK energy security in the next quarter?
- Answer
-
There is no security of supply issue for fuel or gas supplies as a result of the repairs needed to the Forties pipeline. We have received reassurances from Petroineos Grangemouth refinery that they will be able to continue to provide fuel due to the availability of oil from other sources. Similarly, National Grid has confirmed that the loss of the FPS will not impact on security of supply for gas.
