- Oil and gas
storage sites are part of the landscape in many communities and an
important component of vast system of oil and gas exploration and
production
- Safer design
features used in the downstream, refining sector would likely
prevent tank
explosions at sites. These include the use of vents fitted with
pressure-vacuum devices,
flame arrestors, vapor recovery systems, floating roofs or an
equivalent alternative.
- An
underground storage tank (UST) system is a tank (or a combination of
tanks) and connected underground piping having at least 10 percent
of their combined volume underground. The tank system includes the
tank, underground connected piping, underground ancillary equipment,
and any containment system. The federal UST regulations apply only
to UST systems storing either petroleum or certain hazardous
substances.
- Natural gas
is most commonly stored in underground facilities under pressure.
These facilities are depleted aquifers, salt caverns and oil or gas
fields or both. In above ground facilities, natural gas is stored in
gas or liquid form.
- For
tank storage firms, the risk of a lightning-induced fire event is
too potentially damaging to bear. Floating tank storage facilities
that have millions of dollars’ worth of product can be destroyed
with a single spark. Even worse is the downtime such an event will
cause: a possibly lengthy period of investigation and reconstruction
that impacts a storage facility’s ability to deliver product to
market and generate revenue
- Corrosion Is
One Of The Biggest Problems In The Oil And Gas Industry Worldwide
- Cathodic
protection is an electrochemical means of corrosion prevention
technique which uses the electrochemical properties of metals to
insure that the structure to be protected becomes the cathode of an
electrolytic cell
- Carbon steel
tanks, used to store flammable liquids, can with withstand with low
and high temperature without melting or cracking and offer better
strength than others.
- FRP tank oil
storage market segment is likely to be worth over 3 billion in 2025.
It offers corrosion resistance, high strength to weight ration and
light weight. Steel tank segment would witness growth . It is mainly
used to store petroleum products.
- Market
research analysts predict that the global oil and gas storage
service market will grow steadily during the next four years and
post an impressive revenue of more than USD 13 billion by 2020
- Increasing
crude production coupled with declining price will drive the oil
storage market in the near future. U.S., Asia Pacific China and
India have planned over USD 35 billion investments to build storage
capacity.
- U.S. oil
storage market share was valued at 62.8 Million cubic meters and in
terms of revenue, is predicted to witness a gain by 4.5% in 2025
- The
government of India is planning to set up three 5 MMT strategic
crude oil reserves in Mangalore, Padur and Visakhapatnam to ensure
energy security which may boost the demand for storage tanks.
According to National Bureau of Statistics, Asia had nearly 191
million barrel of crude in its strategic petroleum reserves as of
2015.
- Oil storage
is used by private companies or particular governments to store
crude inventories to maintain national security and safeguard the
economy during energy crisis. Increasing production rate will favour
growth.
