I am redirecting the phrase "petroleum storage" to this page. --McTrixie 23:31, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Is the term "oil depot" really more common than "tank farm"? I believe that "tank farm" predominates. Perhaps a web search can confirm this. 75.149.29.126 (talk) 15:34, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

What are the positive effects of oil depot?

Claim of Russian invention
Okay, a little more precision from me on this issue. Vladimir Shukhov was clearly a remarkable figure and he did apparently pioneer the cylindrical oil tanks used in depots, along with an amazing array of other innovations. But a modern oil depot is a complex facility comprised of many different elements and he did not invent that, nor did any single person or country. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:37, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
