  2. External floating roof tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_floating_roof_tank

    An external floating roof tank is a storage tank commonly used to store large quantities of petroleum products such as crude oil or condensate. It consists of an open- topped cylindrical steel shell equipped with a roof that floats on the surface of the stored liquid. The roof rises and falls with the liquid level in the tank. [1]

  3. Architecture of the oil tanker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_of_the_oil_tanker

    An oil tanker's inert gas system is one of the most important parts of its design. [18] Fuel oil itself is very difficult to ignite, however its hydrocarbon vapors are explosive when mixed with air in certain concentrations. [19] The purpose of the system is to create an atmosphere inside tanks in which the hydrocarbon oil vapors cannot burn. [18]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condeep

    The Condeep is used for a series of production platforms introduced for crude oil and natural gas production in the North Sea and Norwegian continental shelf. [2] Following the success of the concrete oil storage tank on the Ekofisk field, Norwegian Contractors introduced the Condeep production platform concept in 1973. [6]

  6. Offshore concrete structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_concrete_structure

    Floating production, storage, and offloading systems (FPSOS) receive crude oil from deep-water wells and store it in their hull tanks until the crude is transferred into tank ships or transport barges. In addition to FPSO’s, there have been a number of ship-shaped Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO) systems (vessels with no production ...

    Oil storage tanks at Fawley. Fawley refinery processes around 270,000 barrels (43,000 m 3) of crude oil a day and provides 20 per cent of the UK's refinery capacity. [1] Crude oil is transported by sea in tankers to the refinery's one-mile-long (1,600 m) marine terminal, which handles around 2,000 ship movements and 22 million tonnes of crude oil and other products every year. [8]

  8. Onshore (hydrocarbons) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onshore_(hydrocarbons)

    Onshore oil terminals may include large crude oil tanks for the initial storage of oil prior to processing. Such tanks provide a buffer volume where oil is delivered by tanker. The oil tanker delivery rate is considerably greater than the processing capacity of the plant. Crude oil tanks also allow offshore production to continue if the export ...
