Shutdown at Grangemouth to cost the economy dearly, with oil currently fetching around $110 dollars a barrel.
The refinery is involved in processing around 700,000 barrels a day, using oil taken from around 65 oilfields in the North Sea.
If Grangemouth closes, there's nowhere else for that oil to go, forcing production to shut down too.
