If I remember correctly, the oil is owned currently by the "UK
Continental Shelf". There is lots of ways it could be divided. The thing
I wonder is - which court or jurisdiction would get to decide and
enforce the split ? Simon.

and no doubt once the Orkney and Shetland isles decide they want nothing
to do with the 'new Scotland' it will then transfer, with their
allegiance, to south of the border.

As an enclave they would only get the oil within 12 miles of their
coast and all the major fields are outwith that.
