The Brent System consists of 14 North Sea oil fields linked to the Brent system pipeline which pumps the oil ashore to the Shetland Islands' Sullom Voe oil terminal. The Brent Field is but one, albeit the largest, in the system and is not to be confused with the pipeline or the whole complex of fields. At Sullom Voe, Brent system crude is blended with oil from the Ninian pipeline system (four fields – the largest being the Ninian) to create Brent blend crude, the international benchmark blend.
