Working and Net Available Shell Storage Capacity

Working and Net Available Shell Storage Capacity is the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) report containing storage capacity data for crude oil, petroleum products, and selected biofuels. The report includes tables detailing working and net available shell storage capacity by type of facility, product, and Petroleum

Administration for Defense District (PAD District). Net available shell storage capacity is broken down further to show the percent for exclusive use by facility operators and the percent leased to others. Crude oil storage capacity data are also provided for Cushing, Oklahoma, an important crude oil market center. Data are released twice each year near the end of May (data for March 31) and near the end of November (data for September 30).

In addition to storage capacity, the report includes stocks of crude oil, petroleum products, and selected biofuels. Storage capacity utilization rates are calculated as stocks divided by storage capacity. Storage capacity utilization rates are reported for refineries, bulk terminals and fuel ethanol plants, and crude oil tank farms.

Crude oil tank farm storage capacity includes capacity of tanks and underground

caverns but excludes pipeline fill capacity. Stocks reported monthly are a combination of

barrels held in tank farms and pipeline fill. March and September reports include stocks

held in tank farms without pipeline fill. Stocks held in tank farms are used for calculating

the tank farm storage capacity utilization rate.

1 Utilization rate for refineries, bulk terminals and fuel ethanol plants equals stocks divided by storage capacity.

Utilization rates for crude tank farms equals stocks divided by storage capacity of tanks and underground caverns. It does not include pipeline fill.

2 See http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/storagecapacity/crudeoilstorage.xls for additional information on crude oil stocks and storage capacity.

3 Includes storage capacity for ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene, normal butane, butylene, isobutane, isobutylene, and natural gasoline stored separately or in mixes.

4 Dedicated Propane/Propylene storage capacity includes storage capacity for propane and propylene stored separately. It excludes capacity for storing propane and propylene as a component of mixed hydrocarbon gas liquids. Ending stocks are provided for comparison, but storage

capacity utilization is not calculated because ending stocks include propane and propylene stored in mixes as well as in dedicated storage.
