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.
Independence for Shetland is even less likely than independence for Scotland and isn't even worth mentioning. I want independence for Dundee and so do two other people, doesn't mean it's actually a serious proposition.
