Since the 2014 vote, there have been sweeping changes in both the North Sea industry and to the UK's political landscape, the two most critical being the oil price plunge and last year's Brexit vote.

The offshore industry has been a cornerstone of the UK economy, and will play a vital role in a second referendum campaign.
