An Overview of the Risks of Petroleum Concrete Storage Tanks and their Management and Maintenance Methods

Concrete oil tanks are one of the most important storage structures. These reservoirs require management and maintenance during their operation period to deal with various risks. Lack of maintenance management of concrete tanks can lead to life, environmental, economic and social risks. According to the geographical location of Iran, oil extraction, consumption and export, and concrete tanks have become very important, and the need for maintenance management is felt. This research focuses on the introduction of risks, risk-based management and maintenance methods for petroleum concrete storage tanks. First, the definitions, types of maintenance, risk cycle and research related to reservoir risks are reviewed. The basis for future research and suggestions for research, based on previous studies, can be considered by providing risk-based maintenance management.
