oil terminal
Petroleum storage facility
An oil terminal is a facility where petroleum is received, stored, and distributed.
Tanker ships or pipelines deliver crude oil or refined products to tank farms at the terminal, which then loads the oil onto trucks, rail cars, or other pipelines for transport to refineries or consumers.
Major terminals handle millions of barrels and serve as critical nodes in the global oil supply chain.
