Any reason why the typical ranting unionist only ever quotes the Forties pipeline when saying how much condensate is produced by Scottish oil fields?

Shell are about to develop the Jackdaw field 250 Km east of Aberdeen which will peak at a production rate of 40,000 barrels of oil per day equivalent - I suppose that's off the English coast?
Patrick Harvie of the Greens wants to shut down all these oil fields in the North Sea.
I knew that production is also taking place in a large oilfield to the West of Shetland as I personally know a person on Islay who was working on this oilfield.
He previously told me that production in this oilfield to the West of Shetland was difficult during the winter months due to the frequent storms in the area.
I assume that oil which feeds into the West of Shetland pipeline will be landed at Sullom Voe and it would belong to an independent Shetland Isles if they did not want to remain in an independent Scotland.
