Commonly in the drilling operations, a frac tank is use to storage any kind of fluids for the operations, such fluids could be: Drilling mud, brine, water, disposal fluids remaining of the drilling operation. Other features (depend of the complexity of the tank) are: Manifold with butterfly valves, hooper, agitators, suction line output, skid mounted, outside level meter. The commonly volume of the frac tank vary from 100 bbl up to 700 or more bbls (actually if the client require a specific dimension it can be done).

Normally from production point, whenever we perforate the new zones during the production life of the well, the production from the well is diverted from the facility to frac tank because of less confidence in the composition of producing fluids. Simply we can say it is used for storing the fluids. if during the production well had loaded up and we have no production, so we offload the well through swab rigs or gas lift and fluid recovered from the well is stored in frac tank. The frac tank is not always present on well. It is being shifted when needed.
