Terminal & Storage
The energy industry utilizes intricate networks of pipelines, storage tanks, onshore ports, and blending facilities. Crude oil is transported by ships to these large-scale logistics centers, where it is stored and later distributed to refineries as needed. Similarly, refined products are stored and blended to meet precise market specifications before being delivered to the end user.
Gas terminals often receive gas deliveries from gas fields through specialized tankers or pipelines, utilizing pipelines for regional distribution, processing, and gas testing. In contrast, gases obtained from crude oil, such as butane, are stored in locations without connection to the primary gas grid. Subsequently, these gases are bottled and utilized for heating or cooking purposes. Amo Storage Inc invests in various companies offering worldwide terminal and storage services. Our combined storage capacity at terminals in the US totals around 16 million cubic meters.

Oil Prodcution & Demand
Various factors can affect the balance between supply and demand for energy and commodity products. Over the longer term, demand trends are influenced by elements such as population growth, economic conditions, and technological progress.
Global Oil Movement
Transporting crude oil and oil products across regions is essential to address supply and demand imbalances, thereby opening up opportunities for international trade.
New tanks undergo hydrostatic testing prior to being put into service, which includes thorough integrity checks such as monitoring for potential leaks during water filling. Cathodic protection systems are employed to prevent corrosion throughout normal operations. To further ensure safety, tanks are grounded to eliminate static electricity buildup during filling and refilling, and grounding also provides a pathway to divert lightning strikes in the rare event they occur. Our facilities are consistently maintained, inspected, and monitored. Each tank is visually inspected at least once a month by trained terminal personnel, with additional comprehensive inspections conducted annually.
