The water at Texaco's Harbor Island, and Gulf Oil's docks in Port Arthur were about a foot of oil floating on the water around 1970.

It is normal to flood "empty" tanks with water ahead of a hurricane too keep from floating away.

Why use Wikipedia if you have experience with tanks?

As far as Grokpedia, it is pure crap.

I am editing an AI generated "teaser" for technology presentation to a client. Surprising the engineer who is a solid believer in AI put out the crappiest presentation I have ever see.


I only used wikipedia to count how many plants I have been in because they have a list of refineries and chemical plants world wide.

I don`t remember what the tank had in it before the flood.

I’m surprised the ole Saddam Hussein approach to environmental politics has yet to be considered.

Regular army has not been paid in two months and IRGC food soldiers have seen delays three times so far. Combine this with the out of control inflation, banks limiting withdrawals.....wonder if a lot of these fellas are reconsidering which side they are on?

Most of them are not these wild eyed fanatics. They love the power and the fact they were paid better than the average Iranian. Both those are quickly fading and they have to realize things will only get worse.

remarkable that a responsible company would allow entry into a sludge containing tank, with a busted floating roof that could collapse at any time on the damaged stantions.

I haven’t been in any plants and know nothing about them, but it is fun to watch you oil baws challenge each other on your bona fides.

From what I remember the tank was cleaned out pretty good and about 90% of the legs were still attached after over a month of not collapsing.

Another company gave an estimate on flooding the dikes, pull the tank back to the foundation and doing the mechanical repairs but the plant decided to demo and replace in kind.

Not sure if anything has changed lately but plants do or did some wild sht to get around cost and down time especially at night when most people are sleeping.

I see Trump backing down from this and resuming strikes. They're not going to give in and Trump doesn't want permanent damage to the wells, that's the future of the free Iran.

They should allow oil through and the payments go to a fund we control until the IRGC is out of power. And then that money goes to Iran.

That's what I'm talking about. Similar deal like Venezuela. Might minimize US companies involvement however.

There were no responsible companies after Katrina. It was the wild west.

BREAKING: IRAN WALKS AWAY FROM NUCLEAR TALKS

Iran is now “no longer interested” in any deal that limits its nuclear program, according to Tasnim News.

Instead, Tehran is shifting focus to:
• Ending the war
• The future of the Strait of Hormuz
• Compensation for damages
• Lifting sanctions
• Removing the U.S. naval blockade

Nuclear restrictions are off the table.

Iran says the nuclear issue can be discussed “later” or in a separate deal.

This comes as Pakistan-mediated talks stall and pressure continues to build.
