1 Introduction:
As a part of the inspection of tank TK04 in the MABRUK OIL OPERATION Field, a
thorough external and internal inspection (without sweep blasted) was carried out to assess any
deterioration or anomaly.
The inspection commenced on July 29th, 2024.

2- General Requirement
2.1- Inspection Procedure
The primary purpose of proper tank inspections is to assess the overall condition of storage tanks,
identify potential issues, and ensure compliance with relevant safety and environmental regulations. Tank
inspections should include evaluating the tank's structural integrity, checking for leaks or corrosion,
assessing the condition of tank components, and reviewing maintenance records. The frequency of
inspections will depend on factors such as tank material, age, use, and regulatory requirements.
Generally, most tanks should undergo routine visual inspections monthly or quarterly, while more in-depth
external inspections and comprehensive internal inspections, depending on the tank specifications and
usage.

-Visual inspection
Visual inspections are the most basic but critical step in a proper tank inspection process. Visual
inspections should focus on the overall condition of the storage tank, including:
 Assessment of the tank's exterior for signs of corrosion, cracks, or damage to the coatings, vents,
or piping systems
 Examination for any signs of leaks, such as disconsolation, staining, or wet spots around the tank
area.
 Inspecting ancillary components, such as valves, gauges, and bending, for any signs of wear or
damage hen conducting visual inspections, keep in mind that unexplained changes in tank levels,
persistent odors, or the presence of contaminants in nearby soil or water sources may indicate
an undetected leak.

- Structural Integrity Assessments

Maintaining the structural integrity of a storage tank is vital for preventing leaks, mechanical
failures, and environmental damage. Structural integrity assessments should include the following:
Inspection of tank shell, floors, and roofs for signs of corrosion or weakening Thickness testing using
ultrasonic testing (UT) or other non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques to identify areas of reduced
structural integrity due to corrosion or material degradation. Stress analyses to identify potential weak
points or overloaded areas within the tank's structure by regularly assessing the structural integrity of your
storage tanks, you can proactively address potential issues and ensure the tank's continued safe and
optimal operation.

- Evaluating Tank Components and Accessories

Page | 2
 Inspection report
tank TK04
Rev. 001

A comprehensive tank inspection should also include a review of key components and
accessories associated with the storage tank, such as:
 Valves, Fittings, and Connections: Check for signs of wear, tears, or corrosion and ensure
proper functionality.
 Piping Systems: Inspect for signs of corrosion, leaks, or damage.
 Venting Systems: Examine for blockages, wear or corrosion and ensure proper operation to
prevent over or under- pressurization of the tank.
 Level Gauges, Pressure Gauges, and temperature sensors: Ensure accurate readings and
that they are in good working condition.
 Secondary Containment and Bunding Systems: Inspect for cracks, wear, or signs of
contamination and ensure efficient and adequate containment in case of a spill or leak
Regularly evaluating and maintaining these essential components can help prevent potential
issues, maintain compliance with regulations, and ensure the tank system's safe and effective
operation.

Proper documentation and record keeping are crucial for maintaining compliance with
regulations and showcasing a commitment to the safe, responsible management of storage tanks. Tank
inspection records should capture information such as inspection dates, findings, maintenance or repair
work conducted, and any identified issues or recommendations for additional actions. Additionally,
maintaining documentation of regulatory compliance inspections, internal assessments, and third-party
inspections can help streamline future audits, site investigations, or compliance checks.

Ensure that all inspection records are complete, accurate, and readily accessible. Implementing
a digital record-keeping system can increase efficiency and provide easy access to essential
documentation when required. By following these comprehensive guidelines for proper tank inspections,
you can confidently evaluate the condition of your storage tanks, address potential issues promptly, and
maintain compliance with relevant regulations. Regular inspections and proactive maintenance will
contribute to the overall safety and efficiency of your storage tank systems, protecting your valuable
resources and investments in the long term.

- Achieving Reliable Storage Tank Operations with Expert Inspections

Proper tank inspections are instrumental in ensuring the safety, efficiency, and compliance of
your storage assets. By thoroughly evaluating your tanks' structural integrity, detecting leaks, assessing
components and accessories, and maintaining comprehensive documentation.
Note: Before starting the scheduled inspection, no drawing is available for review.

2.2- Inspection Result
