CAVERN COMPARISON

The Industry’s Most Secure Method for Storing Crude Oil

A cavern can hold more than 16 full-sized crude oil tanks and does not take up 60-65 acres of land in comparison, also caverns are not susceptible to weather events, such as hurricanes, floods and lightening, and have no emissions.

DEEP UNDERGROUND, SALT DOME CAVERN STORAGE OFFERS THE MOST ENVIRONMENTALLY SECURE AND LOWEST COST WAY TO STORE CRUDE OIL. THE SALT IS IMPERVIOUS TO LIQUID AND GAS, HAS STRENGTH COMPARABLE TO CONCRETE, AND MOVES LIKE PLASTIC TO SEAL ANY INCIPIENT FRACTURES.

A STORAGE METHOD USED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY,
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, AND THE OFFICE OF FOSSIL ENERGY
