pipe store Explanation: pipe store Om du bruker store eller storage er vel det samme, men du har selv rett. Det dreier seg om et lager av ganske grove oljerør som referansen viser til: ImageID.: hnh0316 Rørlager på oljebasen i Tananger. Pipe store on the oil base in Tananger. © Harry Nor-Hansen Categories.: Norway/Norge, Oil industry/ Oljeindustrien This image is represented and copyrighted by fotofil.no.

[Drilling] ID: 1522 Onshore, two elevated truss-like structures having triangular cross sections. The pipe rack supports drillpipe, drill collars or casing above the ground. These structures are used in pairs located about 20 ft [6 m] apart and keep the pipe above ground level and closer to the level of the catwalk. Pipe stored horizontally on the pipe racks can have its threads cleaned and inspected and the rig crew may roll the pipe from one end of the pipe racks to the other with relative ease. The pipe racks are usually topped with a wooden board so as to not damage pipe, especially casing, as it is rolled back and forth along the racks. When large amounts of pipe are stored, wooden sills are placed between the layers of pipe to prevent damage. See: catwalk, measured depth» «2. n. [Drilling] ID: 1523 Offshore, the storage bins for drillpipe, drill collars and casing. The offshore pipe rack functions similarly to the onshore version. Due to space limitations, offshore pipe racks tend to be narrower and routinely contain many layers of pipe. The onshore pipe rack tends to have few stacked layers and instead extends laterally as needed to hold the tubular goods because space is not at a premium. » I would then say you are looking at pipe racks at the pipe store. This is supported by the following example: Atlantic Richfield has moved its pipe store to a compound two miles out of town, where it stands floodlit, fenced, and under armed guard.
