The economic background to the claim was the discovery of oil in the North Sea in the 1960s, and its coming on line in the 1970s. The majority of the largest oil fields in the UK sector of the North Sea were found in the waters to the north and east of the Scottish mainland, with the more northerly fields found to the east of the Orkney and Shetland islands.

North Sea oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons, comprising liquid petroleum and natural gas, produced from petroleum reservoirs beneath the North Sea.. In the petroleum industry, the term "North Sea" often includes areas such as the Norwegian Sea and the area known as "West of Shetland", "the Atlantic Frontier" or "the Atlantic Margin" that is not geographically part of the North Sea. Industry body Oil and Gas UK has hailed the latest discovery in the North Sea which could contain as many as 50 million barrels. Azinor Catalyst said it had struck oil at Agar-Plantain in the Equinor and partners ExxonMobil, Idemitsu and Neptune have discovered oil and gas in exploration well Echino South, 35/11-23, by the Fram field in the North Sea. Recoverable resources are estimated at 6-16 million standard cubic metres of oil equivalent, corresponding to 38-100 million barrels of oil equivalent. In October 2018 Wellesley Petroleum AS announced the successful appraisal of the Grosbeak discovery in the Northern North Sea. Appraisal wells were drilled in production license (PL) 248I, where Wellesley holds a 60% operated interest, the company reported in a press release.

The discovery of oil in the North Sea can be dated back to the mid-19th century. In the 1900s much of the oil and gas exploration took place in this area.

Discoveries of oil grew in number as more companies, British, European and American, took out leases on sectors of the North Sea. By the mid-1980s there were over one hundred installations. Through extraordinary technological innovation and human effort – and sacrifice – millions of barrels were being produced every day.
