- Inlet metering skid with a Coriolis custody transfer meter and meter prover connections
- 3000 bbl crude oil tank and containment system
- Outlet metering skid with a crude oil booster pump, Coriolis meter, sampling system, and meter proving connections
- Crude oil shipping pump for injection into the crude oil pipeline
- Drainage system and underground sump tanks on the inlet and outlet for the terminal to collect oil
- Plastic lined run-off pond to collect site drainage
- Security fence and automated gate
- Transformer and MCC building
