1.. (SWN) SIGNIFICANCE: THE ADDITION OF AT LEAST EIGHT NEW
STORAGE TANKS WILL NEARLY DOUBLE THE CRUDE OIL STORAGE
CAPACITY AT UNGGI PETROLEUM REFINERY.
2. (SWN) REMARKS: EXCAVATION FOR AT LEAST EIGHT LARGE POL
T7 KS WAS IDENTIFIED ON PARTIAL COVERAGE 25X1
INITIAL EXCAVATION FOR AT LEAST FOUR OF THESE 25X1
TANKS WAS OBSERVED THE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY WAS 25X1
IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE NINE LARGEST VERTICAL TANKS AT THE
SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE REFINERY. THE DIAMETERS OF THE
CIRCULAR BASES FOR THE NEW TANKS APPEARED TO BE IDENTICAL TO
THAT OF THE NINE LARGE TANKS. THESE TANKS, 9X1
HAVE AN ESTIMATED STORAGE 25X1
CAPACITY FOR 145,000 BARRELS EACH. THIS WOULD INCREASE THE
CRUDE OIL STORAGE CAPACITY AT THE REFINERY BY AT LEAST
1,160,000 BARRELS. EIGHT RECTANGULAR EARTHEN REVETMENTS, ONE
FOR EACH STORAGE TANK, ARE IN VARIOUS STAGES OF CONSTRUCTION.
(SECRET SPOKE ~ ANALYST'S COMMENTS: THE EXPANSION OF 25X1
THE STORAGE CAPACITY AT THE REFINERY AT SUCH A RAPID PACE, CAN
PROBABLY BE ASSOCIATED WITH NORTH KOREA'S RECENT ACQUISITION
OF THE 224,850-TON NORWEGIAN-REGISTRY TANKER, "POLI SCANDIA."
