27 Dec 2017

INEOS reported December 26 that the repair of the Forties pipeline at Red Moss is now mechanically complete and pressure testing is well underway. A small number of customers are now sending oil and gas through the pipeline at reduced rates as part of a coordinated plan that allows INEOS to carefully control the flow and pressure in  the system. 

INEOS has partially re-started the Kinneil facility. Flows through the pipeline and Kinneil will be increased gradually as we prove the system. There is currently increased flaring at the site as we begin to progressively and safely bring the different streams on-line.

INEOS will complete this work as quickly as possible but safety is the highest priority.

Based on current estimates the company expects to bring the pipeline and Kinneil progressively back to normal rates early in the new year.

INEOS continues to make good progress towards Forties restart

INEOS has worked with the Emergency Services, relevant authorities and regulators as it has implemented the code compliant repairs on the FPS pipeline.  It is expected that the precautionary safety cordon will remain at 150m whilst pressure testing continues. For the time-being the unclassified CK12 Netherley to Cookney road, which passes close to the site remains closed by the police and all non-essential drivers are being requested to seek alternative routes to ensure that the road remains clear for essential works.

INEOS said it apologises to its customers and the local community for the issues that this creates and it is working hard to minimise the impact of the pipeline closure as far as possible.
