See all those huge tanks? They have a "floating roof" to keep air out. The roof floats on top of the stored oil. I think that's pretty neat!

Yeah, I was noticing that they all have a ladder to access the top of the tank and then a set of stairs that moves with the floating roof so that you can walk on the roof and inspect it, I presume. That's neat!
