Lake Long Crude Oil Terminal - Fuel Terminal in Bourg, Louisiana

Lake Long Crude Oil Terminal is a fuel terminal situated in Bourg, Louisiana, within Terrebonne Parish. As part of the United States fuel infrastructure, it plays a role in the storage and distribution of crude oil, serving the regional energy supply chain. The terminal is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 424710 (Petroleum Bulk Stations and Terminals). The facility operates under U.S. environmental regulations, including the EPA's Underground Storage Tank (UST) and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules. These frameworks mandate secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response plans to mitigate risks associated with crude oil storage. The terminal's location in coastal Louisiana also subjects it to state-specific requirements for hurricane preparedness and wetland protection. Lake Long Crude Oil Terminal contributes to the local economy by supporting crude oil logistics in the Gulf Coast region. Its proximity to sensitive coastal ecosystems necessitates robust environmental safeguards. The facility's operational status ensures ongoing fuel supply for industrial and commercial users in the area.

The terminal is located in coastal Louisiana, an area with extensive wetlands and waterways. Spill and vapor risks are managed through secondary containment systems and leak detection, as required by SPCC regulations. Proximity to sensitive receptors such as marshes and estuaries underscores the importance of preventive measures. The facility's tank type and vintage influence its environmental footprint, with older tanks potentially requiring upgrades to meet current standards.
