Operators were restarting production this week from North Sea oil and gas fields after flows resumed through the key Forties Pipeline System (FPS) following a 19-day shutdown to repair a hairline crack, writes Rob Watts.
FPS operator Ineos confirmed on 30 December that the system was fully operational.
“All restrictions on the flow of oil and gas from platforms feeding into the pipeline system have been lifted and virtually all platforms are now on line,” Ineos said.
