Technical Report · Thu Oct 09 04:00:00 EDT 1986

OSTI ID:5203605

Coal production for 1985 was finalized at 883.6 million short tons, a 1.4% (12.3 million short tons) decrease from the 1984 production level of 895.9 million short tons. For the period January through June 1986 coal production totaled 450.9 million short tons, a 2.2% increase over the 441.4 million short tons produced during the first half of 1985. This increase is due primarily to the fact that, during the first half of 1986, electric utilities increased their coal stocks by 6.5 million short tons whereas, during the first half of 1985, they decreased their coal stocks by 5.2 million short tons - a difference of 11.7 million short tons. The 1.1% (4.5 million short tons) decrease in domestic coal consumption and 3.1% (1.3 million short tons) decrease in coal exports during the first six months of 1986 compared to the same period in 1985 were largely offset by a corresponding increase of 2.9 million short tons in stocks held by coal producers and distributors over the same period. Also during January through June 1986: Appalachian and Interior Region coal production increased 5.3 and 8.7%, respectively, as compared with January through June 1985. Western Region coal production decreased 7.0% as compared with January through June 1985. Metallurgical coal exports declined 4.0% as compared with January through June 1985 and the average price of all US coal exports decreased for the 17th consecutive quarter, reaching $46.30 per short ton. Coal consumption at other industrial plants increased 4.0% (1.5 million short tons). Consumer coal stocks at the end of June 1986 were 175.8 million short tons - the lowest end-of-June level since the coal-strike-induced figure in 1981 (158.3 million short tons). 62 tabs.
