Oil terminal engineering and EPC in Africa & the Middle East

Oil storage terminals engineered from feasibility and FEED through EPC delivery and commissioning.

Simei Energy plans and delivers strategic, marine and inland oil terminals for crude oil, gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and other petroleum products. Capacity, tank farm configuration, receipt and dispatch logistics, fire protection, automation and future expansion are developed as one integrated operating facility.

Why Simei Energy

The terminal is designed from the logistics case outward. Storage autonomy, simultaneous operations, loading capacity, safety systems and expansion space are coordinated early so that civil works and equipment packages support realistic operating targets.

Key terminal planning decisions

Capacity, throughput, logistics and protection systems must be defined as one operating terminal.

01

Capacity and product strategy

Product grades, supply reliability, demand profile, storage autonomy, tank sizes, segregation and future capacity are evaluated together.

02

Tank farm and phased development

Tank arrangement, bunding, roads, drainage, utilities, safe access and reserved expansion areas are coordinated in the master plan.

03

Receipt and dispatch logistics

Marine, pipeline or truck receipt and truck, pipeline or other dispatch routes are sized around realistic simultaneous operations and peak transfer rates.

04

Protection and operating control

Firewater and foam, spill containment, lightning and static protection, gauging, metering, inventory control and terminal automation are integrated into the operating philosophy.

Typical engineering outputs

A coordinated technical basis for owner approval, procurement and construction.

Depending on the contracted stage, deliverables may include feasibility and capacity studies, geotechnical and site-investigation requirements, design basis, product and tank schedules, master plan, PFDs and P&IDs, hydraulic calculations, equipment data sheets, fire-system basis, civil interfaces, material take-offs or bills of quantities, EPC technical proposals and commissioning procedures.

Major equipment-package coordination

Storage, transfer, loading, fire and automation packages aligned before site integration.

API tanks, pumps, piping components, loading gantries, metering skids, tank gauging, firewater equipment, foam systems, electrical items and terminal controls are reviewed against shared operating assumptions. Vendor documents, inspection points, export packing, construction interfaces and startup information are coordinated with the supply scope.

Oil terminal engineering and EPC — clear answers

What can Simei Energy deliver for an oil terminal project?

Simei Energy is a China-based engineering and EPC delivery company for petroleum storage infrastructure in Africa and the Middle East. The scope is defined around the owner’s products, storage autonomy, receipt route, dispatch demand, site conditions and required project stage.

01

Which oil terminal projects does Simei Energy support?

Strategic petroleum reserves, marine oil terminals and jetties, port-receipt depots, pipeline-connected terminals, inland truck-distribution depots, large crude or refined-product tank farms, and brownfield expansions.

02

Which engineering stages can be included?

Site and geotechnical investigation coordination, feasibility and capacity planning, concept and master planning, Pre-FEED, FEED, detailed multidisciplinary engineering, EPC technical proposals and construction-ready documentation can be included according to the contract.

03

Which terminal systems can be supplied and integrated?

API 650 storage tanks, receipt and dispatch systems, pumps, piping, filtration, metering, truck-loading gantries, firewater and foam systems, hazardous-area electrical systems, automatic tank gauging, PLC and SCADA terminal control.

04

What are the typical engineering deliverables?

The package may include the design basis, capacity calculation, tank schedule, plot plan, PFDs, P&IDs, hydraulic calculations, equipment data sheets, fire-protection basis, civil interfaces, material take-offs or bills of quantities, inspection requirements and commissioning procedures.

05

Can Simei Energy execute the EPC stage?

Yes. Subject to the agreed country, site and contract boundary, Simei Energy can coordinate detailed design, qualified equipment procurement, civil and electromechanical construction, inspection, pre-commissioning, commissioning and operator training.

06

Does Simei Energy invest in or finance oil terminal projects?

No. Simei Energy provides technical services, equipment supply and project delivery. It does not provide project investment, financing, EPC+F, BOOT, lease-to-own, deferred-payment or project-share funding arrangements.
