That said, for most places where one might want to store oil (geologically stable, not permafrost, etc.) my understanding is that once you're below about 500-1000 ft you can store most crude fractions. | |

The temperature gradient is about 25–30 °C/km and only contributes about 0.3 °C for 10 meters (though there may be local effects, like water flow through the ground). Where I live it is 8 °C. Averaged over entire countries it varies from 28 °C in Burkina Faso to −5.35 °C in Canada) | |
