how about putting the drum horizontally with the two holes parallel to the ground. Please consider a case where putting the drum outside is inevitable and the number of drums is in tens of thousands which is actually a case in big suppliers' warehouses.
Why is particles not a concern when storing drums? (this is based on the video) In most presentation & articles they specify that at every chain of custody the particle count increases isn't it? What would happen if the drum bungs are 100% sealed, then there won't be any air exchange at all. Will this cause drum to burst due the expansion or contraction of air?
If the drums are in a warehouse indoors, but the warehouse is not air conditioned will water collect inside? An oil company that I use told me they had that issue when they first started and they say you’d have to store oil in an air-conditioned warehouse. Also, what about oil that is stored in large tanks outside
No question climate control is going to help. The reason for the breathing is temperature fluctuations - the bigger the temperature delta, the worse the problem is. So being indoor will always help because the drums are insulated from the elements and do not receive direct sunlight. But they’ll still breather a little bit.
Shelf life for additives are quite variable depending on the type - for finished lubricants the generic answer is about five years, although this might reduce to around two years for some of the biodegradeable oils.

Good point! Guess we were going for the "ideal case" but do acknowledge that in many circumstances there aren't huge covered areas.

In most normal situation, I think the differential pressure won't be enough to cause the drum to burst or implode

on retention tank is better
