In British Columbia, LNG is stored at LNG facilities in above-ground tanks. The British Columbia Energy Regulator (formerly the BC Oil and Gas Commission) regulates storage of natural gas under theEnergy Resource Activities Act(British Columbia) (formerly theOil and Gas Activities Act).

The ships have a design life of 35 to 50 years and carry crude oil in 18 cargo tanks. They will be operated by Alaska Tanker Co. of Portland, Ore. — formed in 1999 to operate BP chartered tankers used in the Alaska North Slope trade — and will make deliveries to West Coast ports...
Traders who sold because they thought tanks were full at Cushing and prices would fall lost their butt! Traders have since learned their lesson. Nothing cures a flawed preception like losing a few thousand dollars on every contract. No one gets concerned about storage capacity at cushing until ...

Deepwater Horizon fears resurface as rigs probe for oil under Arctic ice In a few days' time, officials at the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum in Greenland will reveal the winners of a new round of licences to drill for oil and gas in its waters. The announcement promises to be explosiv...
OTTAWA — In something resembling a bottle return program, Detroit’s enormous petroleum coke pile, a byproduct of Canadian oil sands, is making its way back to Canada. A Canadian electrical power plant, owned by Nova Scotia Power, is chipping away at the three-story-high, blocklong pile ...
I suspect things are going to get truly ugly for those who heat with oil and that most of us will be shocked when our tanks are refilled later this fall. As I mentioned in an earlier Drumbeat, heating oil has already reached $1.36 per litre/$5.00 a gallon in some parts of Ontario, ...
Nova Scotia Power’s $208-million biomass plant in Point Tupper is sparking up the utility’s grid. The plant, which burns sustainably harvested bark, wood chips and sawdust, successfully completed a 120-hour test run last week and has been generating a steady supply of electricity ever since...
is most effective in calm waters, involves various mechanisms that physically separate the oil from the water and place the oil into collection tanks. Another approach is to use varioussorbents (e.g., straw, volcanic ash, and shavings of polyester-derived plastic) that absorb the oil from the...
Skimming, a technique that, like the use of booms, is most effective in calm waters, involves various mechanisms that physically separate the oil from the water and place the oil into collection tanks. Another approach is to use various sorbents (e.g., straw, volcanic ash, and shavings of...
