A central tank battery (CTB) is a facility that centralizes the separation and storage of oil, gas, and water from multiple wells in close proximity. CTBs help operators handle high production volumes by providing a central location to process hydrocarbons efficiently. In the Permian Basin, where numerous horizontal wells often produce from the same formation, CTBs play a critical role in managing large quantities of produced fluids.

In oil and gas production, API 12F tanks and separators are often used together to manage the storage and treatment of produced fluids, including oil, water, and gas.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is responsible for issuing air permits for various industrial operations, including oil and gas production facilities that use API 12F storage tanks.

API 12F tanks are widely used for crude oil storage in the Permian Basin due to their standard design and ability to handle the operational demands of the region’s high crude production.

An API 750-barrel (bbl) tank is a common size for storage tanks in the oil and gas industry, typically used for storing crude oil, produced water, or other petroleum products.

API 1000-barrel (bbl) tanks are large storage tanks commonly used in the oil and gas industry for storing various fluids, including crude oil, produced water, and other liquids. These tanks are built to standards set by the American Petroleum Institute (API), specifically designed to ensure safety, reliability, and durability under various operating conditions.

The increased production in the Permian has driven the adoption of larger tanks at new and existing batteries.  API 1000-barrel (bbl) tanks are large storage tanks typically used in the oil and gas industry for holding various fluids, including crude oil, produced water, and other liquids. These tanks are designed according to the standards set by the American Petroleum Institute (API), ensuring they meet specific safety, durability, and performance criteria.

High-Density Polyurethane (HDPE) tank bases are used in various industrial applications where stability, durability, and chemical resistance are crucial. For 1000-barrel (bbl) tanks with a 40-ounce differential pressure rating, HDPE tank bases offer several advantages.

regulatory pressure impacts the design and operation of storage tanks in the oil and gas industry, driving the adoption of more robust solutions like the 1000-barrel (bbl) tank with a 40-ounce (oz) differential pressure rating integrated with Vapor Recovery Systems (VRS).

Zinc coating thickness for oil tanks used at batteries, typically measured in ounces per square foot (oz/ft²) or microns, is crucial for protecting the tanks from corrosion. While specific zinc coating thicknesses may vary depending on the environmental conditions and service requirements, they generally follow ASTM standards for hot-dip galvanized coatings.
