The SPR Program is being developed in three phases to achieve the 750 million barrel objective. Phase I consisted of the development of five oil storage sites and one marine terminal with total storage capacity of approximately 260 million barrels. Phase II is the current expansion of three of the existing sites - Bryan Mound, West Hackberry, and Bayou Choctaw - by 290 million barrels. The SPR site development through Phase II will have a combined storage capacity of approximately 550 million barrels. Combined drawdown capability will be approximately 3.5 million barrels per day. The principal programmatic objectives of Phase III are: to increase the total SPR capacity from 550 million barrels of crude oil to 750 million barrels; and to increase the average drawdown capability from 3.5 million barrels to 4.5 million barrels per day. Phase III was approved for execution by the Under Secretary on August 25, 1981 (Attachment 1) by which the following technical, cost, and schedule goals were established: additional storage capacity of 210 million barrels; addtional drawdown capability of 935,000 barrels per day; overall safety, security, and environmental acceptability of the storage facilities and operations; total project cost, excluding oil acquisition, of $1,011,242,000 or $4.82 per barrel, based on forecast escalation rates for labor and materials; and project completion, including completion of initial fill, by October 1989.
