Storage tanks

Completion of major expansion project makes Shell’s Geismar chemicals manufacturing site the largest producer of alpha olefins in the world.

The company will supply Framo pumping systems to an oil facility in the Middle East and to an FPSO to be built in China.

Sempra Energy’s subsidiary has agreed to sell its non-utlity natural gas storage facilities to an affiliate of ArcLight Capital Partners.

The sale includes both upstream and midstream assets.

Ute Forstner and Wilfried Kleiser, Siemens, Germany, discuss the impact that digitalisation is set to have on the tank storage industry.

The scope of work includes a new process unit, storage tanks, and interconnecting piping.

The FSRU assigned to the project is expected to generate annual EBITDA of between US$29 million and US$31 million.

Transition follows sale of select refinery assets to Par Pacific.

The agreement is for the sale and purchase of enough natural gas to meet about 15% of Poland's daily needs.

Par Pacific paid US$45 million for the refining assets and will utilise IES’ crude oil storage facilities.

Intero Integrity Services has deployed a tank inspection robot in collaboration with Vopak.

The terminal in Ševarlije consists of a gas terminal and an oil terminal.

The initiatives tested include drone inspection, jetty inspection using an underwater ROV, digital vessel clearance tool and robots for in-service tank inspection.

The EOI should contain an indicative price offer and a proposal for how the tank could be used.

The opening ceremony for each facility was held at the Qingdao Port International Crude Oil Trade Development Conference 2019.
