Forties pipeline fixed
The cordon's been lifted around the site in Aberdeenshire
The repair of the Forties pipeline in Aberdeenshire has now been completed.
The cordon around the site near Netherley has now been lifted and operators told they can now pump oil and gas through the North Sea's biggest pipeline again.
INEOS said: "All restrictions on the flow of oil and gas from platforms feeding into the pipeline system have been fully lifted. All customers and control rooms have now been informed.
"INEOS has partially re-started the Kinneil facility. As soon as the plant is receiving sufficient gas from the North Sea the company will begin restarting further parts of the plant. There is currently increased flaring at the site as we progressively and safely start-up of the gas processing unit.
INEOS will complete this work as quickly as possible but safety is the highest priority.
Based on current estimates the company expects to bring the pipeline and Kinneil progressively back to normal rates around new year."
The shutdown has cost the offshore industry £20 million a day according to an estimate from Oil and Gas UK.
