Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Annual report
This report discusses Reserve development activities during 1982 and includes: a detailed statement of the status of the Reserve; a summary of the actions taken to develop and implement the SPR Plan; an analysis of the impact and effectiveness of such actions on the vulnerability of the United States to interruption in supplies of petroleum products; a summary of existing problems with respect to further implementation of the SPR Plan; and any recommendations for supplemental legislation deemed necessary or appropriate by the Secretary of Energy to implement the Reserve Program. During 1982, the significant events for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) Program included continued high oil acquisition and fill rates, execution of a second commercial crude oil purchase contract with the Mexican state oil company, continued Phase II storage capacity development, continuation of Phase III design and construction at expansion sites, submission to the Congress of a new drawdown plan, required under the Energy Emergency Preparedness Act of 1982, for use of the nation's SPR in case of a severe energy supply disruption, and submission of a report to the President and the Congress on the size of the SPR. Phase I development of five storage sites to achieve the capability to store 260 million barrels of oil was completed in 1980. Development of Phase II storage facilities (290 million barrels) continued on schedule during 1982 with cavern leaching at Bryan Mound, West Hackberry, and Bayou Choctaw and oil fill at Bryan Mound and West Hackberry. As of December 31, 1982, a total of 293.8 million barrels of crude oil was stored in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
