Do you if the site sits on any of the nearby salt domes?
See 56. I was just looking into that.
It appears that they sit at the protrusion to the right.
That doesn't mean that the wellheads are on site.

Thanks philman_36. You're more informative than the local paper (that severs a metro population of near 6 million people)!

From your link:

Market sources said the explosions and subsequent fire occurred in an iso-octane unit on the west side of the complex, near several storage facilities. Those also are near a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) pipeline.

The storage facilities, which Enterprise acquired in 2001, consist of 30 salt-dome caverns with a total capacity of 77m bbl, according to the company’s website.
