Background
History
In the period 1965–1968, three oil refineries were developed close to Teesport on the River Tees, thanks to the Phillips Petroleum's development of the Ekofisk oil field in the North Sea. In 1980, with the discovery of North Sea gas, a 220 mi pipeline was installed between Ekofisk and Seal Sands on the north shore. as a result of the pipeline petrochemicals traffic still today represents about 50% of the cargo through Teesport, around 26 million tonnes a year.
