 The Jurong Rock Caverns is the first underground oil storage facility in Southeast Asia.  It is almost 150m deep below Singapore, located in Banyan Basin, Jurong Island. The subterranean development goes up to 130m beneath the Banyan Basin on Jurong Island. The caverns are 27m high, 20 m wide and 340 m long as tall as a 9 story building.
