Title: Baseline assessment of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Project Management Office

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5698270

The Oak Ridge Operations Office (ORO) was assigned overall responsibility for implementation of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Project (SPR) by the Secretary of Energy on June 15, 1983. One of the actions immediately initiated by the Manager of ORO was the establishment of a Task Force under a charter which included directions to conduct a review of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Project Management Office (SPRPMO) in New Orleans, Louisiana, and to compile a report which would establish a baseline of the PMO status at the time of this major management transition. The purpose of this report is to document those findings and recommendations for use by the Manager of ORO. The Task Force was also chartered to conduct a full and complete review of all allegations of mismanagement and misconduct since inception of the program in 1977. The review of each allegation of misconduct and mismanagement will be documented in a second report which will be issued at a later date. By necessity, this report covers a broad range of project activities; therefore, within the allotted schedule, it was impossible to conduct an in-depth review and analysis of all of these areas. It is believed, however, that the materials contained within this report are representative of many of the conditions which prevail at the SPRPMO and should serve as a useful basis for management decisions.
