The project area covers approximately 734 hectares and is located to the north of the existing Ceyhan Terminal. The main objective of the project is the construction of crude oil storage tanks with a total capacity of 5,400,000 m³. The facility will be designed to allow future expansions, with plans to add additional crude oil storage tanks in four phases.
Phase 1 of the BOTAŞ Tank Farm Expansion Project includes the design of six crude oil storage tanks, each with a capacity of 135,000 m³. This phase also covers the installation of crude oil transfer pumps, fire protection systems, auxiliary systems, structures, and all associated interconnecting pipelines at the Ceyhan site.
Within the scope of the project, geological, geotechnical, and geophysical investigations will be carried out, along with soil surveys, to support the development of basic engineering designs.The geological parameters obtained will be evaluated together with the engineering properties of the planned structures, taking into account static, dynamic, and seismic effects.
The project will ensure the integration of the new crude oil tanks and auxiliary systems with the existing systems (such as tanks, fire protection systems, and automation) and will be designed to provide maximum efficiency, safety, stability, functionality, and compliance with scientific and technical principles throughout its operational life. Additionally, the capacity of the existing storage tanks and related systems will be assessed against the new tank system to ensure their suitability for future operations.
