Oilfield Storage Tanks

Petrosmith produces shop made oilfield storage tanks ranging in size from 100 BBL to 1200 BBL, and can produce both monogrammed and non-monogrammed tanks built in accordance to API 12F, either 12th or 13th edition varieties, as well as API 650 compliant shop-built tanks. All tanks are constructed from 3/16” and 1/4” A36 quality materials, and designed, constructed, and tested to API specifications. Petrosmith’s tank operation is completely integrated with all operations from tank fabrication to blasting, coating, painting and final assembly done in-house at our Abilene facility. Petrosmith has over 110,000 square feet of tank fabrication facilities, including over 40,000 square feet of blast, coating, and painting bays.

Gunbarrel Tanks

Gunbarrel tanks are an excellent choice for Tank Batteries when atmospheric pressure, gravitational force, and retention time are sufficient for the adequate separation of oil, water, and gas. Our Petrosmith standard design Gunbarrel tanks come with flume pipe assembly, spreader table, waterleg outlet with tie down brackets, API 5L threaded couplings (4” standard) and bolt-on gas chamber (flume pipe cap). We can provide our standard design Gunbarrel tank or we can customize our standard design to match your specific requirements.
