POL STORAGE CAPACITY, NORTH KOREA
1982 ESTIMATE (S)
ABSTRACT
1. (S/WN) This report presents an imagery-derived analysis of North Korea's POL storage capacity
and is the first NPIC report on that subject. The POL storage capacity, as it has been assessed in this
report, is nearly double the 1975 estimate. This estimate shows that the POL storage capacity has contin-
ued to increase since 1975 in concert with the radical changes in the structure and mobility of the North
Korean forces. This report contains ten annotated photographs, two maps, and a table. The information
cutoff date is
INTRODUCTION
2. (S/WN) In order to determine North Korea's POL storage capacity, 141 facilities, which have been
placed into six categories, were reviewed (Table 1). The calculation of the total storage capacity at those
facilities shows that North Korea's POL storage capacity is at least 10,370,935 barrels, which is nearly
double the 1975 storage capacity estimate of 5,766,560 barrels.'

This increase in the estimated POL storage capacity does not mean that the North Koreans have con-
structed enough new storage to have nearly doubled their capacity since 1975, but rather, is a result of
several factors. The first and most important factor was a detailed recalculation, based on updated
mensuration, of the storage capacity at all previously appraised facilities, which resulted in a net increase
of 1,305,235 barrels. Second, storage facilities that existed, but were not assessed in the 1975 study, have
been included in the present study. They have a storage capacity of 2,189,400 barrels. Third, storage
facilities constructed since the 1975 study have also been included. These facilities include 11 national-
level storage facilities with a storage capacity of 1,109,740 barrels. Table 1 lists the dimensions and
capacities of all facilities. The results of this study represent a review of only the known POL storage
facilities. A detailed, country-wide search for as yet undetected facilities was not conducted.
3. (S/WN) If imagery was available, each POL storage facility was reviewed during construction to
determine the number of storage tanks per bunker. Many of these facilities are old or were constructed
and earth covered between imaging. However, by examining multiple coverages of each POL storage
facility, particularly during the winter months, and identifying and counting the air vents/valves on top of
each tank, a reliable tabulation of the number of storage tanks per bunker, and therefore, of the overall
capacity of the facility was determined (Figure 3). The validity of this methodology was strengthened by
the fact that, in many instances, multiple coverages revealed that the number of tanks placed in bunkers
at facilities under construction was identical to the number of air vents/valves observed after the tanks
had been earth covered (Figure 4).
BASIC DESCRIPTION
Production Facilities
4. (S/WN) The first full-scale petroleum
processing plant built in North Korea is Unggi Pe-
troleum Refinery (Figure 5), 14 nautical miles (nm)
southwest of the Soviet border near the port of
Unggi. This refinery, started in 1968 with Soviet
assistance, became partially operational in late
1973. It is estimated to have a maximum daily
output of 42,000 barrels. The crude oil and finished
product storage capacity at the refinery is esti-
WNINTEL
Z-14599/82
mated to be 2,582,200 barrels (Section I, Table 1).
No differentiation has been made between crude
oil and finished product storage. The refinery
currently draws its crude oil from the large border
transshipment facility at Yonghyon-dong. The stor-
age capacity of the transshipment facility is esti-
mated to be 261,000 barrels. The refinery also has
its own rail loading/unloading facilities. A pipeline
has been constructed from the refinery to the

recently completed berthing facility at Unggi Port
Facilities (Figure 6). The pipeline and berthing
facility allow seaborne shipments to augment the
cumbersome movement of crude oil by rail.
5. (S/WN) The second major petroleum re-
finery, Paengma Petroleum Refinery Ponghwa
(Figure 7), is 8 nm east-southeast of Sinuiju and the
Chinese border. Construction of this refinery,
which was built with Chinese assistance, began in
1976. The refinery became partially operational in
late 1978. It has an estimated maximum daily
output of 42,000 barrels. The crude oil and finished
product storage capacity is estimated to be 720,000
barrels. The refinery has its own rail loading/un-
loading facilities and draws its crude oil from the
transshipment facility at Paengma Ri Petroleum
Production Storage Southeast, 1.5 nm southeast of
the refinery. The transshipment facility at Pa-
engma-ri probably receives its crude oil from
China via a pipeline that was first observed under
construction in mid-1974. The estimated storage
capacity is 1,152,520 barrels; no differentiation was
made between crude oil and finished product
storage.
6. (S/WN) Aoji Ri Chemical Plant and Syn-
thetic Petroleum Refinery, the third petroleum
production plant, is 14 nm southwest of the border
transshipment facility at Yonghyon-dong. This pe-
troleum production facility uses coal from adja-
cent mines to. produce synthetic POL products.
With the completion of the refineries at Unggi and
Paengma, production at Aoji Ri has probably
shifted to other coal-based products. However, for
contingency purposes, its POL storage capacity of
235,600 barrels has been taken into account.
7. (S/WN) The total POL storage capacity of
these refineries and transshipment facilities is esti-
mated to be 4,951,320 barrels.
National-Level POL Storage Facilities
8. (S/WN) The 17 national-level storage facil-
ities are widely dispersed throughout the country
along the main transportation routes (Figure 1 and
Section II, Table 1). National-level storage facilities
are either rail served or connected by a pipeline to
the nearest rail spur. They serve both military and
civilian consumers but are not ordinarily used as
distribution facilities. The average storage capacity
is in the 100,000-barrel range. Two types of storage
facilities have been identified at the national level.
The first type comprises bunkered or earth-cov-
ered, standard 9- by 3-meter horizontal storage
tanks with a capacity of 420 barrels each (Figure 8).
These facilities are designed to take maximum ad-
vantage of protective terrain and vegetation. Ter-
rain usually dictates the number of tanks per
bunker, but the range is generally from ten to 25.
The second type of national-level storage facility
comprises partially buried, vertical tanks (Figure 9).
These tanks, each with an estimated capacity of
5,000 barrels, are partially buried in groups of six
and then earth covered. The 11 national-level stor-
age facilities constructed since 1975 are of this
type. Prior to 1975, no national-level storage facili-
ties existed south of Pyongyang; however, six of
the new facilities are within or near the forward
corps area. The total capacity of the 17 national-
level storage facilities is estimated to be a mini-
mum of 2,581,660 barrels.
Regional-Level POL Storage Facilities
9. (S/WN) The 58 regional-level storage facil-
ities are more widely dispersed than the national-
level facilities and are all along main transportation
routes or near urban areas (Figure 2 and Section
III, Table 1). Regional-level storage facilities are
road and/or rail served, are directly involved in
the distribution of POL to the military or civilian
sector, have open storage for POL drums, and
have an average storage capacity in the 30,000-
barrel range. Nearly all of these facilities have tank
and cargo trucks for the movement of POL. The
total capacity of the 58 regional-level storage
facilities is estimated to be a minimum of 1,575,315
barrels.
Naval POL Storage Facilities
10. (S/WN) POL storage has been identified
at 28 naval facilities (Section IV, Table 1). Twenty-
five of these facilities were not included in the
1975 assessment. Most of the naval facilities are old
and established, and the POL storage has been in
place and earth covered for a long time, making it
difficult to locate. An example of this can be seen
in Figure 10. The use of multiple comparative cov-
erages was necessary to locate and calculate naval
POL storage. The total POL storage capacity of the
28 naval facilities is estimated to be 347,805 barrels.
This estimate is clearly conservative because of the
difficulty in identifying this type of storage.
Airfield POL Storage Facilities
11. (S/WN) A review of 28 of the major
North Korean airfields was made to determine
whether the 1975 POL storage capacity estimate
had changed. The problem of identifying POL
storage at airfields was identical to that encoun-
tered at naval facilities. Most are old and estab-
lished, and the POL storage has been bunkered for
many years. However, the POL storage capacity of
the airfields constructed since the early-to-mid-
1970s was easier to estimate. POL storage was
identified at these airfields during construction,
facilitating a reliable calculation of storage capaci-
ties (Figure 11). The total POL storage capacity of
the 28 major airfields is estimated to be a mini-
mum of 288,645 barrels (Section V, Table 1). This
estimate is conservative because the POL storage
capacity of the forward area divert/dispersal air-
fields and the highway strips was not reviewed.
Industrial POL Storage Facilities
12. (S/WN) Industrial POL storage is the most
difficult category to estimate. The apparent lack of
standard-sized POL storage tanks at industrial facil-
ities throughout North Korea indicates that de-
tailed mensuration of each facility would be re-
quired in order to determine overall storage ca-
pacity. In addition, a significant amount of tankage
