INEOS Celebrates 50 Years of the Forties Pipeline System
INEOS is marking 50 years of the Forties Pipeline System (FPS), a significant piece of British engineering that has powered the nation's economy for half a century.
The Forties Pipeline was officially opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 3 November 1975, transforming the UK's energy landscape.
- It took Britain from being almost entirely dependent on imported oil to becoming self-sufficient.
- The FPS has safely transported over 9 billion barrels of oil since its opening.
INEOS warns that Britain is squandering its energy independence.
The FPS has fueled homes, transport, and industry for generations, playing a crucial role in the UK's economy.
