Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5503011

Data are tabulated showing supply and disposition of crude oil and refined petroleum products in the US during 1979. Domestic production of crude oil (including lease condensate) and natural gas liquids averaged 10.1 million barrels per day (bpd) during 1979. Foreign imports of all oils during 1979 averaged 8.5 million bpd. Crude oil imports averaged 6.5 million bpd and imports of refined products, including plant condensate and unfinished oils, averaged 1.9 million bpd. OPEC supplied the United States with 5.1 million bpd or 78.4% of the crude oil and 0.5 billion bpd or 27.1% of the refined products, including plant condensate and unfinished oils, imported in 1979. There were 0.067 million bpd imported into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve during 1979. Crude oil inputs to refineries in 1979 averaged 14.6 million bpd. Of this, domestic crude oil accounted for 56.5% and foreign crude oil for 43.5%. Percent of refinery yields for the major refined products based on crude oil and net reruns of unfinished oils were: motor gasoline 42.8%, jet fuels and aviation gasoline 7.1%, liquefied gases 2.3%, kerosene 1.2%, distillate fuel oil 21.5%, and residual fuel oil 11.5%. Stocks of all oils at the end of 1979 totaled 1,340.9 million barrels. Stocks of crude oil and major refined products, expressed in million barrels, that increased or decreased from December 1978 were: crude oil increased 54.0, motor gasoline decreased 0.8, jet fuels and aviation gasoline increased 4.8, liquefied gases decreased 13.6, kerosene increased 1.5, distillate fuel oil increased 12.3, and residual fuel oil increased 5.4. At the end of 1979, stocks of crude oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve amounted to 91.2 million barrels.
