Grangemouth Refinery was an oil refinery complex located on the Firth of Forth in Grangemouth, Scotland, built by BP but latterly operated by Petroineos. It was the only operating crude oil refinery in Scotland, and with its closure left five remaining refineries in the UK. Grangemouth until that point was the oldest refinery in the UK and supplied 65% of Scotland's oil products, including petrol and diesel. The Refinery processed its last crude in April 2025, and is slated to fully convert to a Fuels Terminal from July 2025 onwards.
