and allowing you to get your site up and running quickly.
Additional savings will be realized in permitting, road impact
(93% fewer trucks), heating, management and labor.
The following capacities are available:
• 24,000 bbl with a 125’ diameter footprint plus a 30’ work area
• 35,000 bbl with a 150’ diameter footprint plus a 30’ work area
• 48,000 bbl with a 175’ diameter footprint plus a 30’ work area
*All work areas are outside the tank.
Comparison

Conventional Fracs
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
DEQ permitting required in some areas
Groundwater study required in some areas
Intensive cost of site preparation for belowground pit
Berm liner cost and/or reclamation of belowground pit
48-96 truck passes required to move 500-bbl frac
tanks to each pad location
Expensive heating and management costs of 4896 frac tanks
Inspection, repair and corrosion monitoring
necessary
Approximately 40,000 ft2 required for frac tank
water storage
Big Pond Tank

•
DEQ permitting not required in most areas
Groundwater study not required
Less expensive site preparation
No reclamation necessary
Easy, quick installation and teardown
No more than 5 trucks to mobilize all
components of one 35,000-bbl tank
Unless temperatures stay below 20˚F, no
heating required
Simple manifold system; less prone to leak
Careful liner installation and inspection
should ensure a 99% leak-free tank
~30% less surface area required for this type
of storage in lieu of frac tanks
Installation & Teardown
Timely & Efficient
• Experienced crew of 6 people can install a 35,000-bbl
tank, including liner, in less than 14 hours
• Site prep: a level, compacted sub-base is required
under the tank footprint along with a 30-foot work
perimeter
• Support equipment required for a normal install: telehandlers (JLG), articulated man lifts, scissor lifts, skid
steer
