Description

This technical report describes the results of the Aboveground Storage Tank Survey conducted for the American Petroleum Institute by Entropy Limited. The survey covers all segments of the petroleum industry, namely marketing, refining, transportation and production. A total of 76,708 tanks were counted, including 75,369 tanks in the API field survey plus 1339 additional tanks in the marketing area from data supplied by the Petroleum Marketing Association of America (PMAA). This survey does not include what is believed to be a small part of the total tank population such as tanks at user locations (e.g., utility fuel storage). Based upon statistical analysis of these surveyed tanks into stratification groups, the total number of tanks nationally is estimated at approximately 700,000. This includes approximately 89,000 in marketing, 30,000 in refining, 9,000 in transportation and 572,000 in production. Table 5-1 shows the number of tanks and their total shell capacity by industry sector.
