Summary
| Description |
WELL PADS WITH FRAC TANKS AND A WORK OVER RIG. SINCE 1976, THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN A MAJOR FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM TO STOCKPILE CRUDE OIL. THE STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE FACILITY PROGRAM HAS FIVE UNDERGROUND CRUDE OIL STORAGE FACILITIES IN SALT DOMES ALONG THE GULF COASTS OF TEXAS AND LOUISIANA AND A GOVERNMENT- OWNED MARINE TERMINAL ON THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AT ST. JAMES, LOUISIANA. THE FIVE STORAGE SITES ARE BAYOU CHOCTAW, WEEKS ISLAND, WEST HACKBERRY IN LOUISIANA AND BRYAN MOUND AND BIG HILL IN TEXAS. THESE FIVE STORAGE SITES ARE ORGANIZED INTO THREE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND CONNECTED BY DOE PIPELINES TO COMMERCIAL CRUDE PIPELINE NETWORKS AND MARINE TERMINAL FACILITIES FOR DRAW DOWN/ DISTRIBUTION. THE BIG HILL STORAGE SITE IS LOCATED IN JEFFERSON COUNTY, TEXAS, 20 MILES SOUTH- WEST OF BEAUMONT, AND IS SITUATED ON APPROXIMATELY 275 ACRES OF LAND. THE SURFACE OF THE SALT DOME IS A MOUND RISING 27 FEET ABOVE THE SURROUNDING AREA. THE DOME IS SHAPED LIKE A CYLINDRICAL COLUMN TILTED TO THE SOUTH. THE THICKNESS OF THE CAPROCK VARIES FROM 850 FEET TO 1,350 FEET, MAKING IT ONE OF THE THICKEST KNOWN LAYERS OF CAPROCK OF THE GULF COAST SALT DOMES. THE CAPROCK IS COMPRISED OF LIMESTONE, GYPSUM AND ANHYDRITE. BIG HILL HAS STORAGE CAPACITY OF 160 MILLION BARRELS AND A DRAW DOWN CAPABILITY OF 930,000 BARRELS PER DAY. |
