Deep under Marcus Hook refinery, new importance for massive old caverns

2015-05-03 10:07:28| Oil & Gas - Topix.net

Hundreds of feet beneath the former Sunoco refinery in Marcus Hook are five caverns carved from granite, excavated not by ancient geologic forces but by 20th-century miners. The first of the gigantic underground fuel storage caverns was built during the Cold War, partly to shield supplies from nuclear attack.
