OHNP TRANSLATION CONTEST
On the International Day of Translator (International Translation Day) ONHP announces the Translation Contest for the best translation of a technical text. We invite ONHP employees and representatives of partner companies, students, school students and everyone who speaks and loves English to participate. Due to the need to create a strategic reserve of hydrocarbon raw materials in the Russian Federation, the OHNP International Business Department offers a text dedicated to a hot topic – OIL & GAS STORAGES.
Contest entries are to be accepted within the period 30 September, 2020 – 30 October, 2020 by e-mail science@onhp.ru with the indication “Translation Contest” in the subject line. Together with the translation, contestants should send an application form containing brief information about themselves.

Oil & Gas Storages
In oil and gas industry the movement of crude and refined oil products from the places of origin to the various markets would not be possible without the existence of economic and safe storage facilities.
Oil produced from the early wells was stored in whisky barrels. Barrels, although unsuitable for storage use because of leaking, remained in use for a long time due to their ease of transportation and were eventually replaced by steel ones.The measurement of the oil volume is often expressed in barrels (1 bbl=0,159 m3) precisely because of such practices. With the ever growing need for oil, the storage tank sizes increased with time. Today, crude oil is commonly stored in large aboveground atmospheric vertical cylindrical storage tanks at oil fields, terminals and refineries where storage tanks are typically installed with similar or identical vessels in a group.
At the oilfield, when the oil is brought to the surface under high pressure conditions it is passed through either a two (where the associated gas is removed and any oil and water remain together) or a three phase separator (where the associated gas is removed and the oil and water are also separated). At the oil fields produced crude oil is usually stored in fixed roof storage tanks while stabilised oil and oil products at terminals and refineries are stored in floating roofs tanks.
Terminals are storage facilities which generally receive crude oil and petroleum products by trunk pipeline or marine vessel. Tanks should ideally be located alone, but storage tanks are often grouped in tank farms. Within tank farms, individual tanks or groups of two or more tanks are usually surrounded by a catchment area in the form of a retaining wall, known as a bund or dike.
Natural gas can be stored in gaseous or liquefied state. The natural gas in gaseous state will be stored in underground storages (depleted oil or gas reservoirs, aquifers or salt caverns). By converting natural gas to liquefied natural gas (LNG) it can be economically transported over the oceans and great distances from the places where it is produced to those where it is in demand.
