Technical Report · Wed Oct 31 04:00:00 EST 1979

OSTI ID:5318690

The Northern Tier states are being affected by a continued decline in domestic crude oil supplies. This condition will be exacerbated by the expected curtailment of Canadian crude oil exports in the early 1980s. This report presents the findings of an interdisciplinary team from the Department of Energy (DOE) concerning (1) petroleum supply needs and (2) alternatives to alleviate potential crude shortages in the northern tier and inland states through the year 2000. The report is in response to a Department of Interior (DOI) request for an assessment of proposed new pipeline systems to serve these areas to be made part of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The findings also provide an analytical basis upon which the President may select a crude oil transportation alternative or alternatives for expedited treatment in the Federal permitting process. The report reviews the west coast ANS surplus and the current capability of refineries in Northern Tier states to process Alaska North Slope (ANS) crude oil. It also takes into account such related factors as potential crude shortages and the feasibility of reversing, expanding, or converting existing pipelines. The possibility of continued Canadian crude oil exchanges and historic sales, and the impact of large volumes of Mexican crude oil on the US market, are discussed. The report also includes a comparative energy use analysis.
