=== Summary Information ===

* Source: Offshore North Sea Fields
* Destination: Hound Point, Scotland
* Ownership: BP
* Website: https://www.icmmed0ty.com/fps/home.asp
* Length: kilometres ( miles)
* Capacity: 1 Million barrels of oil per day
* Crude Type: [[Forties Blend Crude Oil]]

=== Description ===

* FPS transports crude oil and gas liquids from offshore and onshore entry points, processes the liquids at Kinneil and redelivers to the customer [[[Forties Blend Crude Oil]]] at Hound Point and either Raw Gas or fractionated Gas Products at Grangemouth.
* The system carries around 40 percent of the UK’s oil production.

=== Contractors ===

* **ETPM:** Pipeline replacement project

=== Related Oil Fields ===
* As well as the [[Forties Oil Field]], the pipeline carries oil from the [[Buchan Oil Field]], [[Buzzard Oil Field]], the [[Kinnoull Oil And Gas Field]], [[Nelson Oil And Gas Field]] and [[Scott And Telford Oil And Gas Fields]]
* The fields of the ETAP project utilise the system, [[Marnock Oil Field]], [[Egret Oil Field]], [[Heron Oil Field]], [[Machar Oil Field]], [[Monan Oil Field]], [[Mungo Oil Field]], [[Skua Oil Field]]
* The fields of the Greater Kittiwake area, [[Kittiwake Oil Field]], [[Goosander Oil Field]], [[Grouse Oil Field]], [[Mallard Oil Field]] & [[Gadwall Oil Field]] utilise the pipeline via a 33 km 10” pipeline to the Forties Unity platform
* The [[Armada Oil And Gas Field]] complex, [[Elgin Franklin Gas Field]] and [[Balmoral Oil Field]] use the system
* [[Braemar Oil Field]]

=== Pipeline Status ===
* In operation
* Foster Wheeler was awarded an engineering, procurement and construction management contract in 2011 for an Enhanced Gas Separation Project (EGSP) on the Forties System.
* The project is expected to be completed in 2014

=== History ===
* In the early 90's FPS replaced the original offshore Forties pipeline and made an additional £1 billion speculative investment to establish FPS as a predominantly third party system. This investment funded the oversize of the pipeline from 32-inch to 36-inch, the installation of Forties Unity offshore riser platform, two additional onshore pumping stations, an additional oil stabilization and processing train at Kinneil , an additional crude storage tank at Dalmeny and an additional crude oil loading jetty at Hound Point.
