RE: ESSO pipeline could be good news for UKOG.13 Oct 2019 07:43
A fuel pipeline running through some of Surrey's biggest towns could be replaced if plans are given the go-ahead.
- [ ] Built between 1969 and 1972, the existing pipeline, which provides AVIATION
- [ ] fuel to some of UK's busiest airports, runs from Esso's Fawley refinery near Southampton to a west London terminal storage facility
Hoping to "maintain supply of AVIATION fuel for years to come", Esso has announced its intention to replace 90km of the 105km underground pipeline.
Even though the pipeline itself is relatively small, with an internal diameter of around 30cm, corridors are typically 200 metres wide.
