COMMENT
A difficult job
R
ebalancing global oil markets was never going to be an easy job. The new production target of 35.5 million barrels per day at the beginning of 2017 – a reduction of 700,000 barrels per day – followed two difficult years for oil markets when prices tumbled in 2015. However, this job has just become even more difficult. Around 230 million barrels of extra oil more difficult. The International Energy Agency has discovered that this amount of previously unaccounted for oil is still lingering in storage. How has this happened? Through the discovery of changes in historical data that suggest demand in some developing countries was overstated. To put this into some perspective, Bloomberg’s Julian Lee says this amount of oil increases the build-up in inventories since the beginning of 2014 by almost 25% and it draws out the rebalancing process by another six months. And the March 2018 extension of the production cap has proved to be particularly painful for some countries. As such, compliance is slipping. In July, the compliance rate was 75% and OPEC’s production rose to its highest level in 2017. However, demand for oil is growing yearon-year more strongly than first thought and there is talk that some OPEC countries are preparing for even deeper cuts. So, let’s watch this space, particularly in the run up to the next full ministerial meeting. Aside from this, talk has turned to the rising phenomenon of the electric vehicle – particularly as the likes of France, the UK, India and China have announced initiatives to either cut the amount of petrol and diesel cars and/or increase the quota of electric vehicles. Oil majors are also giving electric vehicles the nod in their future business strategies. Shell, for example, has forecast a ‘lower forever’ oil price as petroleum demand eventually declines as a result of initiatives to phase out combustion

engines in favour of EVs. But it is not all doom and gloom for oil markets, or the tank storage sector. In this issue, we examine the EV initiatives at play and how there remains a baseload demand for oil in other sectors. In this issue, we also take a closer look at the Asian storage market and how an insatiable appetite for oil is fuelling demand for storage as the region absorbs excess crude supply. South Korea’s Ulsan region is a particular hot spot for storage at the moment. Jeongil Stolthaven Ulsan, the largest bulk liquid storage facility in the Ulsan/Onsan industry complex, talks to us about its growth plans to handle greater demand for petrol and petrol product storage. Ulsan Port Authority executives reveal more about its plans for the North East Asian oil hub project, which will make the port the third largest storage hub for oil products and chemicals in the world once complete. We also find out more about Benalec’s Tanjung Piai Maritime Industrial Park, which is capitalising on the fact that Johor is expected to become one of Malaysia’s major oil clusters. This edition of Tank Storage Magazine will be at no less than eight global events. In addition to being the official media partner for Tank Storage Asia in Singapore, this magazine will be distributed at Tank Storage Association in Coventry, UK, the NISTM in Galveston, Texas, Asia Downstream Week, in Singapore, EPCA in Berlin, Argus Africa Storage & Logistics in Cape Town, Bulk Liquid Storage Europe in Croatia and API in Seattle, US! We look forward to catching up with you at one of these events. We hope you enjoy this edition.

Vopak and AltaGas JV over propane export terminal AltaGas and Vopak will jointly invest in the development of the Ridley Island propane export terminal.
T
he facility will be the first propane export facility off the west coast of Canada and it is designed to ship 1.2 million tonnes of propane per annum, with 96,000 m3 of storage capacity. It is expected to be commissioned in the first quarter of 2019. Vopak will take a 30% interest in the facility. Its investment in the terminal is underpinned by long-term customer contracts and fulfils its strategy of focusing on the storage and handling of gas. Canada has a structural surplus in gas and natural gas liquids for which Asia is an important market to export these energy products. The facility site is near Prince Rupert, British Columbia and it has a strategic locational advantage given very short shipping distances to market in Asia of 10 days compared to 25
days from the US Gulf Coast. Propane from British Columbia and Alberta will be transported to the facility using 50 to 60 rail cars a day through the existing CN rail network. Eelco Hoekstra, chairman of the executive board and CEO of Vopak, says: ‘We are very much looking forward to working together with AltaGas in this new partnership. Storage and handling of gas is an important strategic focus area for Vopak. We are confident that we have found a strong partner in AltaGas that is a well-respected Canadian company with experience in developing energy projects.’ Separately from the facility, Vopak also has additional land rights on Ridley Island. Both Vopak and AltaGas will explore the potential to expand their relationship on Ridley Island.
Tank storage project boosts TransMontaigne financials An expansion project at TransMontaigne’s Collins bulk storage terminal, along with the company’s base business, has supported an increase in its first quarter financials. Revenue for the first quarter of 2017 was $44.9 million, an increase of 10.6% compared to the same period in 2016. Consolidated EBITDA for the first quarter of 2017 was $27.3 million, a 13.3% increase compared to 2016 results. The company says the improvement can be primarily attributed to port of its Collins Phase I terminal expansion coming online and re-contracting of storage capacity throughout the past year, including a portion at higher rates and greater utilisation. In December 2016, the company placed 900,000 barrels of the two million barrels of new tank capacity into service at the facility in Mississippi. In February and May 2017 it placed an additional 300,000 barrels and another 300,000 barrels respectively into service. Completion of the remaining capacity will occur in various stages through the second quarter of 2017. The facility is the only independent terminal capable of receiving from, delivering to, and transferring refined petroleum products between the Colonial and Plantation pipeline systems. The company says it is in the process of permitting an addition five million barrels of capacity for further construction at its Collins terminal and is in active discussion with several prospective customers regarding this.

New Pipe Support Barrier Reduces Corrosion and Installation Costs Lift-Off Pipe Supports, a Lake Charles, Louisiana Company, has recently successfully designed, manufactured and installed their new “LOR” range of pipe supports with excellent results (according to the installers and pipeline company owners). Lake Charles, LA, July 14, 2017 – ( PR.com ) – Lift-Off Pipe Supports has recently designed, manufactured and supplied their 6” and 8” LOR (Lift Off Rest) range of pipe supports to a well know pipeline operating company with excellent results. The client is very impressed with the support as they do not fall off or get displaced during line expansion or contraction and very fast to install (about 15 minutes). An additional advantage is that the support cannot slide off the beam by using our patented design method. No drilling or any mechanical fixing method is required, besides lifting the pipe off the beam. No hot work is needed. The LOR is unique in the sense that it has a very high conductivity resistance, to ensure that the pipelines and associated equipment is adequately grounded. A major cause of cathodic protection failures. Lift-Off Pipe Supports supplied 6” and 8” LOR’s to suit 12,” 16,” 20” and 24” piping. The advantage of the LOR is that the support barrier, or width only needs to be approximately half of the pipe diameter and addresses the contact point between the support beam and the pipe. Lift-Off Pipe Supports supplys the LOR to suit structural sections from 1” to 16” wide flange widths to suite piping up to 48.”

USD Partners acquires Oklahoma crude storage terminal A crude oil terminal in Oklahoma has been bought by USD Partners to facilitate rail-to-pipeline shipments of crude oil.
T
he terminal in Stroud, which was bought for $25 million, will enable the shipment of crude from USD’s Hardisty terminal in western Canada to Cushing, Oklahoma. USD has extended the term of take-or-pay terminalling services agreements related to 25% of the Hardisty terminal’s available capacity by one year. Along with this transaction, USD has entered into a new multi-year, take-or-pay terminalling services agreement with an investment grade rates, multi-national energy customer for the use of 50% of the Stroud’s terminal’s available capacity. Dan Borgen, CEO, says: ‘We are proud to announce the successful repositioning of an underutilised asset to create a competitive network solution for our new customer’s growing oil sands production. ‘Our Hardisty to Stroud rail solution delivers immediate takeaway capacity, preserves the integrity of our customer’s heavy barrels and enables substantial end market optionality at Cushing with available pipeline capacity to the Gulf Coast.’ The Stroud terminal is located on 76 acres and includes 104 railcar spots, which can unload one unit train per day, two 70,000 barrel onsite storage tanks and one truck bay. The terminal also includes a 12-inch diameter, 17-mile pipeline directly connected to the Cushing hub. USD also obtained a lease for 300,000 barrels of crude oil tank storage at the Cushing hub to receive outbound shipments of crude oil from the Stroud terminal. Jim Albertson, vice president, commercial development – Canada, adds: ‘This transaction reinforces the strategic positioning of our Hardisty asset and confirms our long-held view that rail will continue as an important component of midstream transportation infrastructure in western Canada.

Vopak reaches agreement over emissions control at Texas terminal A number of improvements are being made at Vopak Terminal Deer Park following an agreement with several federal agencies over its emissions. The facility is investing $5 million in capital upgrades after it reached an agreement with the US Environmental Protection Agency, the US Department of Justice, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the Texas Attorney General. The agreement (consent decree) is not an admission of liability but represents an agreement between the terminal and the government on a range of new controls and processes. The upgrades include enhanced operations procedures and improved tank covers as well as investment in advanced technologies such as the usage of forward looking infrared optical gas imaging cameras. David Carter, Deer Park terminal manager, says: ‘Vopak is committed to being a leader and responsible company in the communities where we operate and we are happy to cooperate with all governmental agencies to ensure that our facilities meet the highest regulatory standards. ‘We are also committed to continuous improvement and look for ways each day to innovate in our operations and the way we do business.’
Tallgrass to develop crude storage terminal Tallgrass Energy Partners plans to develop a crude oil storage terminal following an agreement with Saddle Butte Pipeline. The facility will be situated in the heart of the Platteville, Colorado oil terminal complex and will interconnect with Saddle Butte’s Denver-Julesburg Basin crude oil gathering system. It is expected that the terminal will serve as a new pipeline origin for the Pony Express Platteville Extension. The extension is expected to have an ultimate takeaway capacity of at least 80,000 barrels of crude oil per day and is expected to be in service by the second quarter of 2018. Tallgrass Terminals will wholly own and operate the new facility when it is completed. Consistent with the Pony Express Pipeline’s current operations, the Tallgrass Grasslands Terminal will offer batching service for several common streams sourced from multiple gathering system interconnects. Doug Johnson, vice president and general manager of Tallgrass Pony Express Pipeline, says: ‘The proposed Platteville Extension and Tallgrass Grasslands Terminal, together with our existing Buckingham Terminal and Northeast Colorado Lateral, give Pony Express and Tallgrass Terminals an unrivalled footprint in the Denver-Julesburg area and provide meaningful benefits to producers. ‘Via its direct connections to refineries and six final-destination terminals in Cushing, Pony Express provides customers a broad range of delivery options and improved netbacks versus other alternative transport options.’

Worker killed following storage tank fire A fire at Anadarko Petroleum killed a maintenance worker and injured three others. The incident, involving an oil tank battery, happened on May 25 as crews performed maintenance on a collection of oil tanks at the facility near Mead, Colorado according to the Weld County Sheriff’s Office. When officers arrived on the scene the battery was fully engulfed in flames, which is being attributed as an industrial accident. Three people working on the battery were transported to medical centres, two being treated for burns. The Sheriff’s Office, Mountain View Fire and Anadarko worked to ensure all the individuals working on the site were accounted for and another person working on the battery was discovered and was declared dead at the scene. The identity of the worker will be released by the Weld County Coroner’s Office following their investigation.

Myanmar joint ventureWestorage terminal launched Can, We Care A joint venture petroleum products terminal between Puma Energy and Asia Sun Energy has been launched in Myanmar.
T
he $92 million investment in the Puma Energy Asia Sun terminal, located at Thilawa port, is first of its kind for the Myanmar petroleum industry, which has just opened up to foreign direct investment in this area. With 91,000 m3 of capacity, the terminal is the largest and most modern refined prod-
ucts import terminal in Myanmar. It caters for a range of petroleum products including commercial fuels, HFO, bitumen and jet fuel. The terminal is the first in the country to be built to API, ASME and NFPA international guidelines for construction, safety and environmental standards. David Holden, general manager of Puma
Energy Asia Sun, says: ‘Puma Energy Asia Sun has invested close to $100 million in this vital fuel infrastructure to support the long-term economic development of the country. The Thilawa terminal will support Myanmar’s increasing need for transport fuel and contribute towards the nation’s development.’
Puma reports sales growth despite some headwinds Puma Energy has reported a 3% in sales volumes despite headwinds in some regions. The company attributed its growth to good retail and aviation performance, however B2B was negatively affected by the slowdown of certain economies, particularly in Africa. Its gross profit and EBITDA decreased compared to a very strong first quarter of 2016. Its overall storage capacity increased to eight million m3 as aStores result of the forsucyou. cessful completion of Dinh Vu terminal in Vietnam and the integration of the terminal acquired from BP in Northern Ireland. Denis Chazarain, CFO, says: ‘I am pleased to report that, despite facing headwinds in certain regions, we have had a steady start to the year. ‘With the completion of several of our projects, capex was predominantly spent on storage construction and infrastructure projects, while a new terminal in Vietnam has increased storage capacity to eight million m3. ‘Puma Energy remains in good shape and, with strict credit discipline and a focus on working capital management, we will continue to leverage our positions in our key markets and I look forward to a successful remainder of the year.’

China will allow private companies to invest in storage China’s government has said it will eventually allow private companies to invest in the country’s oil and gas storage.
A
ccording to Reuters, which quotes a blueprint document for its energy sector, the State Council said it would aim to increase government investment in the country’s oil storage facilities while also allowing non-state firms to operate storage. However the document did not provide further details. The country has ramped up construction of storage facilities primarily for its strategic reserves. Underground caverns have been built capable of holding a substantial amount of its SPR by 2020 as it looks for alternatives to expensive and exposed above ground tanks in crowded coastal regions. Reuters says that the government has previously said it would take steps such as pushing to open upstream oil and gas exploration to private companies, help split natural gas sales from gas pipeline operations and lift the output of higher quality oil products.
Oiltanking’s Indonesian terminal approved in Platts pricing Oiltanking’s Karimun terminal has been approved by S&P Global Platts to be in its Singapore pricing process for gasoil, jet fuel and petrol cargos. In a note to its subscribers, Platts says it will publish offers of oil product cargoes loading from the storage terminal in its pricing process. It will publish seller’s offers from Karimun on a free-on-board Indonesia basis, where the seller needs to state the loading point as FOB Karimun at the time of indicating their interest to Platts for publication. Reuters reports that this will be the first Indonesian delivery point in Platts’ Singapore price assessment process. Other loading points outside Singapore that Platts includes in its oil product assessments include Malaysia’s Tanjung Langsat, Tanjung Bin, Pengerang and some floating storage units. The company will not publish FOB Indonesia bids and sellers may not unilaterally nominate Karimun as a loading point for deals done under basis of FOB Straits, which includes the terminals located outside of Singapore.
Vietnam to expand oil storage by 2025 Vietnam is looking to build a strategic petroleum reserve and grow commercial storage for crude oil and oil products by 2025. In a document reviewed by Reuters, the country plans to spend more than $6 billion on the project and plans to build strategic petroleum reserves of up to 2.2 million m3 of crude oil by 2020. Reuters says that strategic oil product reserves by 2020 will total 1.8 million m3, equal to 14 days of fuel imports. The country’s prime minster approved a plan earlier in July to build crude and petroleum stocks of at least 90 days’ worth of net imports by 2020.

A five year development plan has been established to cover the construction of tanks, creation of floating platforms and piers for the import and export of crude oil, a pier for the tug boats under water pipelines to receive and export oil with lengths ranging from 5 km to 7 km. It also covers the creation of plant for pumping oil to the tanks. The first phase of the five phase project will comprise 26 million barrels of storage with marine facilities for importing and exporting crude oil. It is
expected to cost $1.7 billion during phase I. The second phase is expected to cost $700 million. A statement from OTTCO says that the terminal will be designed to allow for blending, loading and unloading ships at reasonable times. It is expected that the terminal will have an operational capacity of around 99%. In September 2015, the company achieved a world first with its floating storage facility, with a capacity of 2.1 million barrels. OTTCO was the first storage company in the world to providing floating storage linked to an energy futures contract. The facility, at Minal Al Fahal, serves customers of Oman Export Blend and China Oil. It was built as an interim storage solution for select customers ahead of the commissioning of the Ras Markaz Crude Oil Park.
New liquid bulk storage terminal planned for South Africa Oiltanking Grindrod Calulo Holdings has been appointed a contractor for a new liquid bulk storage terminal at the Port of Ngqura. Transnet National Ports Authority appointed the storage operator to plan, fund, construct, maintain and operate the new facility following the conclusion of the build, operate and transfer agreement in December 2016. Construction is due to start at the end of 2017 and it is expected to be complete and commissioned by the third quarter of 2019. The first phase of the facility will provide 150,000 m3 of storage capacity for refined petroleum products. It also involves the replacement of tanks currently in use in Port Elizabeth, which will be decommissioned and the land redeveloped. Additional phases of the project will involve an additional 550,000 m3 of storage capacity and handling. The new facility will serve oil majors, new entrants into the South African oil industry as well as international traders. This will represent Oiltanking’s first holding in a South African fuel terminal. For Grindrod, the Ngqura liquid storage facility provides diversification into fuel storage and handling and aligns with its coastal tanker shipping through Unicorn Tankers.

Agreement signed for Bioko Oil Terminal The Government of Equatorial Guinea and Arabian Energy have signed an agreement on the development of a petroleum storage terminal in the country. It has been reported that the Bioko Oil Terminal could become the largest oil and petroleum storage facility in West Africa. The project, which is worth $500 million, will comprise 22 storage tanks with a total capacity of 1.2 million m3. It will be built in two phases, the first consisting of refined production and the second capable of storing, handling and blending middle distillates and light ends such as diesel, jet fuel, petrol and naphtha as well as crude oil. Arabian Energy says the terminal infrastructure will be operated on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. Dr Saud Al Anazi, chairman and owner of Arabian Energy, says: ‘By decreasing major imports of petroleum products, the Bioko Oil Terminal will promote efficiency in the midstream space. This investment will have a ripple effect in the value chain of many African economies value chain, creating employment opportunities, efficient and timely delivery of products and competitive pricing.’

Oiltanking buys additional stake in Iran chemical terminal Oiltanking has expanded its investment in the port of Bandar Imam Khomeini in Iran with an additional stake in a storage terminal. The company has acquired an additional stake of the indirect ownership in Exir Chemical Terminal PJSCo – increasing its indirect stake from 35% to a majority share of 70%. The terminal, a joint venture between Oiltanking Odfjell and private Iranian investors, was commissioned in January 2010. It is strategically located in the petrochemical special economic zone of Bandar Imam Khomeini and is connected by pipelines to jetties of the zone at the Persian Gulf and comprises 18 tanks with a capacity of 22,000 m3. Despite the sanctions that were placed against Iran, it has been in continuous operation in spite of the difficult market conditions. In a statement Oiltanking says: ‘Oiltanking considers the acquisition as a unique opportunity to build a majority stake in a state-of-the-art terminal. ‘While last year’s partial sanctions relief
has not yet unlocked the country’s full potential, the location of the terminal provides a significant opportunity for expansion to capitalise on expected market developments.’
VTTI acquires stake in Pakistan storage terminal project VTTI has bought a 51% stake in a storage terminal project in Pakistan for refined oil products. The greenfield project comprises 233,400 m3 of capacity at a location near Karachi. The company says in a statement that its international network combined with the support of local partners Hascol and Fossil will ‘ensure the future terminal is one of the key independent regional terminals required to supply the growing domestic market’. It adds: ‘It is expected that due to local economic and demographic growth, the demand for refined products will increase significantly in the future. Through this investment, we are supporting the development of the infrastructure needed to further develop energy security in the region.’

Investment company to acquire stake in LBC Tank Terminals
Last storage tank completed for Botlek expansion HES Botlek Tank Terminal’s storage capacity expansion is almost complete following the completion of the last tank.
Private investment company Ardian has signed an agreement to acquire a stake in LBC Tank Terminals from Super and Sunsuper. Following the transaction, Ardian will hold a 35% share in LBC and current shareholders APG and PGGM will remain invested in the company with a 32.5% stake each. Walter Wattenbergh, Group CEO of LBC, says: ‘We are delighted to welcome Ardian as a new shareholder. LBC is at a significant transition point in its business strategy, in particular as the business shifts its focus toward expansion of its facilities in the US and Europe. ‘This trend has been identified by Ardian and we value the experience and support they provide to LBC during this period of strategic change.’ LBC represents the 3rd US dollar denominated investment undertaken by the Ardian Infrastructure team in recent months. Completion of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions including relevant regulatory approvals.
The last tank, which was built off-site, will be transported to the facility on July 21, thus concluding the project which comprised seven ready-to-install tanks with a volume of 10,000 m3, which were transported from the SJR Group’s Rotterdam construction site to Botlek over water. Charles Smissaert, MD of terminal, says: ‘The construction and delivery of
these tanks is part of a bigger project, which is set to more than double HES Botlek Tank Terminal’s storage capacity from 200,000 m3 to 477,000 m3. The expansion has been partly executed by the delivery of a total of seven off-site constructed storage tanks. This expansion is covered by a multi-year contract.

Crude oil inventories to increase mid-2018 The largest global increase of crude oil inventories is expected in the second quarter of 2018.
T
he EIA’s Short-term energy outlook was revised slightly downward following OPEC’s announcement of an extension to production cuts for the next nine months. OPEC’s crude oil production target will remain at 32.5 million barrels per day through to the end of the first quarter of 2018. As a result, the EIA now forecasts OPEC members’ crude oil production to average 32.3 million barrels per day in 2017 and 32.8 million barrels per day in 2018. Total OPEC liquid fuels production is also expected to be lower than previously forecast however, contin-
‘Supply growth in 2018 could contribute to downward pressure in oil prices as early as late 2017’ uing production growth in many non-OPEC countries is expected to moderate the pace of global liquid fuels inventory draws in 2017. The largest global inventory increase in the forecast occurs in the second quarter of 2018, when Brazilian and OPEC production are expected to increase by 570,000 barrels per day and 220,000 barrels per day, respectively. Supply growth in 2018 could contribute to downward pressure in oil prices as early as late 2017. However, EIA’s STEO forecast assumes that OPEC cuts will be extended beyond March 2018 but that non-compliance will begin to grow in late 2017 and increase in the second half of 2018. The agency expects US crude oil production to increase through 2018, averaging 9.3 million barrels per day in 2017 and 10 million barrels per day in 2018. OIL MARKET REBALANCING Oil market volatility has started to decline and investment in the industry has started to improve as a result of OPECs production cut. The Joint OPEC-Non-OPEC Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC) noted that the oil market is making ‘steady and significant progress towards rebalancing’. It found that the continued strengthening of global recovery is underway. According to a report by the Joint OPEC-NonOPEC Technical Committee, oil demand is expected to increase significantly in the second half of 2017, compared to the first half, with growth reaching 2 million barrels per day. Additionally, between January and June 2017, the participating producing countries reduced their production by an estimated volume of 351 million barrels. However, the JMMC noted that despite the successes, more can still be improved by some participating producing countries.

Bastrop County, Texas
Rotterdam, the Netherlands
Magellan Midstream Partners
Shell Pernis Refinery
An accident at a pumping station caused 1,200 barrels of crude oil to spill from Magellan’s Longhorn Pipeline. A maintenance contractor struck a fitting on the pipeline four miles southwest of Bastrop, resulting in the company shutting the pipeline and isolating the affected segment. A mile-wide evacuation of the surrounding area was put in place. More than 100 workers assisted in the clean-up effort. No one was injured in the incident.
Shell shut down Europe’s biggest refinery following a fire at one of its high-voltage power stations. Firefighters quickly brought the blaze under control however executives at the refinery decided to shut down all units at the site as they are all interconnected and several of them were out of service due to the power outage caused by the blaze. An investigation was launched into the cause of the fire.

A total of 9 people died and many were injured following an explosions and fire at a tank farm. It is believed the incident occurred when a vessel was supplying petrol to two tank farms in the early hours of the morning. The injured were taken to a nearby hospital in Calabar. Eyewitnesses said that one of the pipes was opened and petrol followed through gutters which then sparked and caught light. Some vessels along the river next to the facility were destroyed.
