Fresh Water Storage Pit Calculations
Pit Dimensions:
LENGTH = 270'
WIDTH = 140'
DEPTH = 12'
Volume: 68,670 bbls
Calculation:
1 cubed foot = 7.48052 gallons
140' X 270' X 12' = 453,600 ft3
453,600 X 7.48052 = 3,393,163 gallons
42 gallons = 1 barrel
68,000 bbls X 42 = 2,856,000 gallons
2,856,000 / 3,393,000 = 0.84173
0.84173 = 84%
3,393,163 X 0.85 = 2,884,188
2,884,188 / 42 = 68,670 BBLS
68,000 BBLS = the amount of
water needed
VOLUME = 68,670 BBLS
