East of Graythorp Industrial Estate
Where the North Sea Brent Delta oil platform looms from the water's edge - awaiting the breakers' attentions. Brent Delta was one of the first platforms to be built in the very early days of Britain's oil and gas industry.
It sat about 115 miles (185km) north-east of Shetland in a cluster of four platforms which made up the Brent field. Its sister, Brent Bravo, produced its first oil in 1976. At the Brent field's peak, in 1982, the four platforms were producing more than half a million barrels of oil a day.
Being one of the first, Brent Delta is now at the end of its life and was removed from The North Sea earlier this year though that is not as easy as you would think.
Unusually for a platform, the legs of Brent Delta were made of concrete which made it much more difficult to decommission than those with steel legs.
