Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5379089

The Naval Petroleum and Oil Shale Reserves (NPOSR) consist of three petroleum and three oil shale reserves. These reserves were created to provide a source of liquid fuels for the armed forces during national emergencies. Crude oil production from the Reserves for FY 1981 totalled 65,988,080 barrels. Daily production from Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 1, (NPR-1) averaged 171,533 barrels of oil, 277 million cubic feet of gas, and 508,279 gallons of associated liquid products. Crude oil production from NPR-2 averaged 5863 barrels of oil per day. Daily production from NPR-3 averaged 3393 barrels of oil, 7.7 million cubic feet of gas, and 16,122 gallons of associated liquids. Development of Naval Oil Shale Reserves (NOSR) 1 and 3 in Colorado was dropped due to lack of industry interest. However geophysical data were collected in FY 1981 by the Department of Energy in order to evaluate leasing and development potential of oil and gas at NOSR-2 in Utah. This report discusses the following: for NPR1 and NPR2, (operations and maintenance, development and exploration, production and reserves, facilities, construction, and transportation, revenues and expenditures, sales, environment and safety, litigation); for NPR2 (revenues and expenditures); for NOSR (development and exploration, environment, revenues and expenditures).
