British Pipeline Agency

British Pipeline Agency Ltd (BPA) is a joint venture, established in 1969,[1] between BP Oil UK and Shell UK.[2] The company operates the UK oil pipeline network of oil pipelines which transport petroleum products around the UK.

BPA replaced the pipeline operations group of Shell Mex & BP in the late 1960s and took over the role as the majority operator on the Government Pipeline and Storage System.[3] They continued as the major operator of the GPSS under reimbursable and fully indemnified contracts until the 1990s when those contracts were ended and instead the GPSS was instead operated by a number of companies under competitively tendered term contracts.
