Storage
NoDoC prepares cost simulation models for estimating of oil & gas STORAGE FACILITIES.
NoDoC models the storage in two groups:
- Oil Storage
- Gas Storgae
Also NoDoC divides the STORAGE FACILITIES based on the location, above and underground.
Following parameters are the variables that NoDoC considers in the cost estimation models and simulations for STORAGE FACILITIES.
- Storage (tank/vessel) Type
- Cargo Type
- Access Type
The Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which is considred in NoDoC special model, SPR is an emergency supply of crude oil that was designed to be the nation's first line of defense in the case of petroleum supplies being interrupted.
NoDoC focuses on the STORAGE FACILITIES rather the storage tanks / vessels alone. It make a user-friendly environment considering all possibilities that the system operates in a feasible technically and economically manner.

NoDoC model for theis session implements the flammability of the oil & gas facilities which varies depending on the geology of the formation and can change over time. The flammability of crude oil and condensate may be characterized by specific gravity (weight per volume), American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity, and the gas oil ratio (GOR).
The higher the API gravity, the lighter and more flammable the compound; materials below an API gravity value of 35 are characterized as crude oil, while those above 45 are considered condensate. Light crudes generally exceed 38 degrees API and heavy crudes have an API gravity of 22 degrees or below.
Intermediate crudes fall in the range of 22 degrees to 38 degrees API gravity. API gravity is measured using stock oil taken from the storage tanks and is often reported to state oil and gas boards upon initial production from a well. The Gas Oil Ratio (GOR) measures the dissolved natural gas remaining in a well stream at a specific pressure and temperature and is a ratio of the gas produced for each barrel of stock oil in standard cubic feet per barrel (scf/bbl).
In addition to being flammable, crude oil and associated produced water (also referred to as brine) may contain varying levels of hydrogen sulfide depending on the geology of the hydrocarbon reservoir.
Crude oil STORAGE SITES containing hydrogen sulfide are typically subjected to stronger regulatory requirements.
Rural oil and gas tank production sites are often in remote locations that are cleared for the INSTALLATION of extraction and storage equipment. At typical sites, crude oil and natural gas are pumped from underground hydrocarbon reservoirs to the surface. The well stream is connected to a piping system that transports hydrocarbons to an oil-gas separator where gas and water are removed from crude oil. The oil is then transferred to storage tanks in a tank battery until it is pumped into a transport truck for eventual sale.
