In response to industry demand, Hardisty Caverns Limited Partnership (HCLP) has developed cost effective underground storage facilities with a capacity to store 480,000 m3 (3 million barrels) of crude oil. This project is unique through the integration of existing underground salt caverns into a significant North American crude oil transportation hub. Annually, 64 million cubic meters (400 million barrels) of oil move through this hub. This project utilizes existing caverns developed in the late 1960’s. Significant work was required to upgrade the cavern facilities and to construct new surface facilities to integrate the caverns into the crude oil transportation hub. Remote operation of the facility is performed from a control centre in Edmonton. In this paper, the key features of the design and construction of the Hardisty Cavern Storage Project will be presented. Of particular interest are the unique challenges presented due to hydraulic considerations related to cavern operation with multiple product characteristics and to provide crude oil movements exchanges between the cavern storage facilities and both low flow rate feeder pipelines and high flow rate transportation pipelines.

ABSTRACT In April 1995, EPA conducted a national survey of oil storage facilities potentially subject to its Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) regulation (40 CFR Part 112). The purpose of the survey was to answer five specific questions: (1) How many facilities are regulated by EPA's SPCC program? (2) What types of facilities does the SPCC program regulate? (3) What do these facilities look like? (4) Which facilities pose the greatest oil spill risk? And (5) How effective is the SPCC program in reducing oil spill risk? This nutshell summary briefly discusses EPA's analysis of the survey data.

ABSTRACT In an effort to better characterize the facilities regulated by the agency's oil pollution prevention regulations, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is conducting a national survey of oil storage facilities that are potentially subject to 40 CFR Part 112 (the 1994 SPCC Facilities Study).

ABSTRACT The use of visual materials is critical for oil spill responders to evaluate the magnitude of potential oil spill impacts. Florida Power & Light has developed extensive visual resources to prepare and support oil spill responders. These resources come in both electronic and hard copy formats. This paper describes these resources including digital aerial photos, surface photos, digital ortho-photos, satellite imagery, surface and aerial digital video, and a host of mapping products (NOAA Nautical Charts, State Boater Guides, etc.). The paper also addresses how these resources are obtained, updated and have been utilized at Corporate and US Coast Guard oil spill drills. Florida Power & Light has fourteen oil storage facilities that have extensive visual resources available to responders. Most of these facilities have up to 200 digital photos that are georeferenced and available to responders in electronic and hard copy photo albums. The incorporation of digital video has also greatly improved responders understanding of area characteristics and deployment opportunities.
