The independence campaign was not dependant on oil as they knew it was going to run out in the next 10 - 15 years. The SNP wanted to use the remainder of oil as a bonus and to be used to aid the infrastructure of Scotland before it dried up. They found that Scotland had a sound financial footing to support itself without the oil.
