I think Storage is already in the pipe line see part of RNS Below and swampy was upset it pass with only one against ha ha.
Given the uncertainty of the hydrocarbon composition, and to ensure that Rathlin has the appropriate consents in place, an application has been submitted to East Riding of Yorkshire Council for a Hazardous Substances Consent which would allow for the storage of up to 199 tonnes of crude oil which falls in category P5b.
The Hazardous Substances Consent would not be required if controlled quantity thresholds are not exceeded. This is 50 tonnes for oil with a composition classified within category P5b.
During the well test, any gas flowed to surface will be incinerated onsite in an enclosed burner and any produced oil will be transported by a licenced haulier to a local refinery.
