From a standardization manual on firefighting systems for offshore oil rigs:
En el caso de tanques esféricos a presión se considerará que al incendiarse una de las esferas se abrirá todo su sistema de agua de enfriamiento y solamente los conos superiores de todas las esferas comprendidas en un radio de 2.5 veces el diámetro a partir de la tangente de la esfera considerada.
Please provide support, if you believe this is simply "cones".

El agua (u otro producto) que salga del sistema de extinción describirá un volumen en forma de cono. Con este cono tangente se determina que tanques esféricos serán alcanzados por el agua.

spars (see link)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_platform
Spar Platforms, moored to the seabed like the TLP, but whereas the TLP has vertical tension tethers the Spar has more conventional mooring lines. Spars have been designed in three configurations: the "conventional" one-piece cylindrical hull, the "truss spar" where the midsection is composed of truss elements connecting the upper buoyant hull (called a hard tank) with the bottom soft tank containing permanent ballast, and the "cell spar" which is built from multiple vertical cylinders
