Technical Report · Tue Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1985

OSTI ID:6238076

Crude oil production from the Reserves for Fiscal Year (FY) 1985 totaled 48,836,711 barrels, with the Government's share being 38,164,554 barrels. Natural gas production totaled 138,046,637 million cubic feet for the year, while associated gas liquids totaled 255 million gallons. In FY 1985, the Government's share of crude oil was sold on the open market, by competitive bidding, as well as to the Defense Fuel Supply Center (DFSC), the petroleum purchasing agent for the Department of Defense (DOD). A portion of the natural gas and all the Government's share of natural gas liquid products produced at NPR-1 and NPR-3 were sold on the open market through competitive bidding. Revenues generated from the sale of the Government's share of hydrocarbon production from the Naval Petroleum Reserves totaled $1.3 billion in FY 1985. Program expenditures totaled $148 million, of which $20.4 million were reimbursed by Chevron, unit partner at NPR-1. At NPR-1, a deep test exploratory well was started during FY 1985, and will continue to be drilled throughout FY 1986 and tested in FY 1987. Of major importance in FY 1985 was the selection of Bechtel Petroleum Operations, Inc., as the new management and operating contractor for the Naval Petroleum Reserves in California. The 5-year contract began August 1, 1985. At NPR-2 in California, significant progress was made toward conveyance of the surface rights of ten parcels of land located on the Reserve to the owners of residences on those parcels. With regard to the Naval Oil Shale Reserves (NOSRs), implementation of the plan to protect natural gas underlying NOSR-3 from migrating into the commercially developed portion of the neighboring wells in the Rulison gas field was initiated during the year. Additionally, implementation of a plan to decommission the Anvil Points Oil Shale Research Facility, located on NOSR-3, was initiated in FY 1984, and progressed significantly in FY 1985. 16 figs.
