Energy Voice looks back through the archives to chart the evolution of the Forties Field, which began pumping oil 40 years ago.
The images show the mammoth project’s complete journey – from construction to first oil.
Located in late 1970 and brought onstream 40 years ago, Forties was the first major oil discovery made on the UK Continental Shelf, not counting the Arbroath field discovered in 1969, which was also a BP prize, though not developed until the 1990s.
