Intro
Dalmeny is an onshore oil storage and export terminal near South Queensferry, Scotland. It handles North Sea crude oil delivered from the Forties Pipeline System and associated onshore pipelines. Dalmeny serves as a buffer and storage node ahead of marine export via the adjacent Hound Point loading berths.
Field
Linked to the Forties Pipeline System, Dalmeny receives stabilized crude that has been processed at Kinneil Terminal. From Dalmeny, oil is pumped to Hound Point for shipment. Dalmeny itself is part of the UK North Sea export chain, not a production field.
Facilities
The Dalmeny terminal includes large crude storage tanks, pumping systems, and pipeline interconnections to both onshore processing at Kinneil and Hound Point export jetties. It acts as an intermediate storage buffer allowing scheduling flexibility for tanker loading. Tanks typically include floating roofs and vapour recovery infrastructure. Dalmeny’s utilities include power distribution, fire-fighting and flare systems, control and safety systems, and leak detection. Dalmeny does not conduct hydrocarbon separation itself — feedstock is conditioned at Kinneil — but it’s critical for staging crude quantities before high-capacity marine export.
