The Sullom Voe Terminal ('SVT' or 'the terminal') complex is operated by our parent company, EnQuest plc, on behalf of a consortium of energy companies. The complex currently receives oil by pipeline from the oilfields in the East Shetland Basin and the deep waters West of Shetland. The oil is exported from Sullom Voe by tanker and shipped worldwide.

The terminal was built between 1975 and 1981 and covers 1,000 acres. Its main purpose has been to act as a buffer between the producing fields offshore and tankers waiting to ship oil to refineries worldwide. The terminal has been designed to allow continuous production offshore, even in bad weather.

The major infrastructure and key features of the site include:

• 1,000 acre footprint
• Four deepwater jetties, with the 24 metre deep port being amongst the deepest in the UK/Europe
• COMAH certified (Control of Major Accident Hazards)
• Brownfield site with advantages in permitting and speed to develop new energy/decarbonization projects
• 300+ skilled workforce
• Multi-gigawatt onshore and offshore wind potential
• Multiple pipelines connecting producing fields and export gas routes to UK mainland.
• Strategic location with access to UK/European markets and potentially global
• Crude oil is stored in sixteen conventional floating roof storage tanks

As operator, our parent EnQuest plc oversees the strategic development of the Terminal and has worked to identify new energy and decarbonisation projects, leading to the launch of Veri Energy.
