Potential middle-distillate supply and demand: 1982-1990

Technical Report · Fri Dec 17 04:00:00 EST 1982

OSTI ID:6251092

Based on the Department of Energy's (DOE's) projections and assumptions for the 1982-1983 winter, nationwide supplies of distillate fuel oils will be adequate to meet demand. The oil industry's projections for 1984 refinery capacity also appear promising for meeting anticipated distillate demand through 1990. However, temporary local shortages of fuel oils could occur this winter and in later years depending on weather, delivery problems, and other variables. DOE's petroleum demand and supply statistics and forecasts provide the capability to monitor nationwide middle distillate trends. DOE collects limited data, however, on current aspects of supply and demand at the state and local level, such as secondary and tertiary inventories. 9 tables.
