LOOP owns and operates a large, modern tank facility at Clovelly, Louisiana. The LOOP tanks are 50 feet (15 meters) in height and 315 feet (95 meters) in diameter. Each tank holds up to 600,000 barrels of crude oil. Twelve tanks are currently in service with more tanks under construction (there is room to build additional tanks on adjacent tracts of land).

 

Above ground tanks make it possible to segregate specialty grades of crude oil for our customers. Customers with unique requirements can isolate their supplies and protect the quality specifications of the crude oil being sent to refineries. The tanks have floating roofs and efficient “drain dry” bottoms, which allows them to be fully emptied and handle varying grades of crude oil.
