SUPER-SIZED TANK FARM

摘要

Northeastern Alberta's role as a key continental pipeline hub is being powerfully strengthened by the construction of 19 huge storage tanks, capable of containing 7.5 million barrels (MMbbl). The new tanks-each standing three- to four- storeys high and as much as 250 feet across-range in capacity from 250,000 to 530,000 barrels (bbl) apiece. When the $600-million project is finished, Enbridge's expanded Hardisty Contract Storage facility will be able to hold 12.5 MMbbl, equal to five full days of Canada's total crude oil production.
