You need to find the density of the oil, from this you will be able to calculate the volume.
You can't calculate that if you know nothing about the shape of the tank.
That's really going to depend on the height of the 500bbl vertical oil tank. We could also calculate the answer if we knew the shape and dimensions of the floor of the tank, but you haven't included that information either.
If we assume that the pipe is completely full of oil, it would just be the volume of the pipe = pi * r2 * l, where pi = 3.14159, r = radius, and l = length of the pipe. If the pipe is not full, then multiply the volume by the percentage of oil in the pipe. For example, if 50% full, then multiply by .5. If the pipe bends, take into account the different volume of the bend. If the bend is 90 degrees, this can be accomplished by taking the average length of the two bent segments for the length.
