Italian term or phrase: parco serbatoi
A CV containing a guys working experience. One of the lines states "Centrale termoeltrrica - progettazione parco serbatoi"

I know several meanings of parco: fleet, yard, list etc but none come to mind other than yard, but tank yard?

oil depot


Explanation:
An oil depot (sometimes called a tank farm, installation or oil terminal) is an industrial facility for the storage of oil and/or petrochemical products and from which these products are usually transported to end users or further storage facilities. An oil depot typically has tankage, either above ground or underground, and gantries for the discharge of products into road tankers or other vehicles (such as barges) or pipelines.
