Containerised and skid-mounted tanks for well-head operation

Paul Boughton
A wide range of tankage is used in the oil and gas industry for well stimulation and intervention applications in both on- and offshore operations. Key to the suitability of such assets is not only their transportability and robustness but also their safety.

UBH International, the UK-based manufacturer of tankcontainers, has focused over recent years on developing its range of tanks to respond to the rigorous demands of the oil and gas industry.

Ease and economy of transport to and from the well-head is assured, with tanks being mounted in strong protective frames with DNV, CSC or other relevant approvals as required.

Many tanks are built to a bolt-in design, allowing easy removal of the vessel while frame repairs are carried out, and if necessary replacement of the entire frame.

Ease and safety of operation of 500, 600 and 1000-gallon mini-tanks for chemical and helifuel applications is addressed by reducing their overall height, allowing easy access to valvegear for discharging of tanks
DNV-approved ISO-Tanks and nitrogen tanks can be equipped with valves located at ground level, thus removing the need to climb on top of the tank in order to carry out everyday operations.
