OSTI ID:5492248

Title VIII of the Energy Security Act requires the President to fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) at an average rate of at least 100,000 barrels per day for fiscal year 1981 and each succeeding fiscal year. This report discusses the Government's activities to contract for SPR oil as of September 29, 1981. It also discusses the volume of oil delivered to the Department of Energy's (DOE's) SPR storage facilities and the status of these facilities as of September 21, 1981. The report is based on our review of DOE and Defense Fuel Supply Center (DFSC) program documents, and of publications and studies related to the program. We also interviewed officials in DOE and DFSC. We did not verify the available capacity of SPR storage facilities nor the volume of oil received by DOE.
