Study of the future supply of low sulfur oil for electrical utilities
Technical Report

OSTI ID:4392634
The factors influencing the supply and demand of low-sulfur residual oil were studied. The demand for residual oil by all domestic markets including the utilities will increase from 2.25 million bbl/day in 1970 to 3.90 million bbl/day in 1980. Electrical utilities' share of the total demand will increase significantly in the 1970s from 0.64 million bbl/day to 2.24 million bbl/day. About 3.20 million bbl/day or 83 percent of the total demand for residual oil will be under Federal or local regulations by the year 1980. Total residual supply is estimated to equal demand with only a minor increase in imports over the current import trend line. Low-sulfur residual, however, will not meet regulated demand without an intense effort beyond reasonable expectations. A large percentage of South American residual must be desulfurized. Significant domestic residual desulfurization will also be necessary. (auth)
