Storage and Terminals
Oil storage and terminals are fundamental components of the global oil and gas supply chain. These facilities are not just storage spaces but pivotal to the trade, transfer, and distribution of petroleum and its products around the world. Whether for commercial use or strategic reserves, storing crude oil is critical to maintaining the stability and flow of energy resources worldwide.
The types of storage tanks used vary, with floating roof storage tanks and fixed roof storage tanks being the most common. These tanks are designed to safely hold vast quantities of crude oil, ensuring it is readily available for refining, transfer, and distribution when needed. Efficient loading and unloading systems, such as truck and rail car loading racks and marine facilities, are also essential for ensuring the smooth movement of products from storage to their next destination. As the oil and gas industry evolves, the infrastructure supporting it must adapt to new challenges and opportunities.
At Ayesa, we understand the strategic importance of storage and terminals within the global energy network. Our expertise in designing and constructing these facilities ensures that they not only meet current demands but are also future-proofed for the energy sector’s evolving challenges. We specialise in creating resilient storage solutions that support both the commercial needs of oil trading and the strategic requirements of energy reserves.
