Oil Refinery Strike

Hundreds of workers at Scotland's only oil refinery began a 48 hour strike that has forced BPPLC to shut a pipeline system that delivers almost a third of Britain's North Sea oil. It had completed the closure of the Forties Pipeline System, when 1200 workers at the Grangemouth refinery in central Scotland walked off the job. The pipeline brings in 700,000 barrels of oil a day from the North Sea to BP's Kinneil plant, which is powered from the Grangemouth site. The strike which is over pension issues, could cost $100 million a day in lost production.The government urged motorists not to hoard fuel because then there would not be enough to go around. There seems to be oil problems everywhere, doesn't there?
