The UK is a net importer of oil these days - there is no oil revenue. You may be able to make a small profit on the last trickles, though.
permanent seat on the UN security council
Unlikely, but I know for sure who won't be on it...
That doesn't take into account the oil/gas off the West coast of Scotland nor does it take into account the Scottish stake of the Rockall claim.

As for what to do with an empty submarine base??? now that's EASY.. refit it as a support base much like the port at Nig off the north east which makes astonishing money servicing oil rigs, support vessels and exploratory rigs... combine that with a wee touch of the support role Aberdeen port plays and you have a winner... simple enough for you?
