Target Tanks provide a unique cost-saving advantage for fluid storage

The primary purpose of the dual containment fluid storage tank  is to store oil-based drilling fluids on well sites during drilling operations. The Target Tank™ can also be utilized for other applications where dual containment is required, such as frac jobs or production workovers. We currently have a fleet of over 360 Target Tanks available in Western Canada, with service centres in Grande Prairie, Edson and Rocky Mountain House.

Tank Features

  • Overflow protection

  • Digital gauges with overfill alarms

  • Unique manifold design for better circulation of fluids

  • Double-walled tanks do not require secondary containment berm system

  • 20 HP Pioneer P3 pump transfer fluid at +/- 1.5 m³/minute via 3” plumbing

  • No picker or pilot cards required

  • No liner purchase

  • No rig matting

  • No access stairs

The Target Tank™ is approved by the Alberta Energy Regulator for on-site oil based fluid storage without a berm and meets the storage requirements without the need for a dike when drilling or operating within 100m of a waterbody.
