oil terminals
Crude storage facilities
Oil terminals are facilities where crude oil or refined petroleum products are received, stored, and distributed.
They serve as crucial transfer points in the supply chain, typically located at ports, pipeline endpoints, or railway junctions.
Tanker ships, trucks, and pipelines connect at these sites to move oil between transportation modes.
The explosion at the oil terminal sent flames visible for miles.
Large terminals may include tank farms, loading docks, and processing equipment.
