This hearing is on the Northern Tier pipeline application for Federal permits to construct a pipeline across public lands pending before the Department of the Interior. The analysis of the demand/supply factors affecting the twelve Northern Tier states leads Pace Company Consultants and Engineers, Inc. to conclude: by 1980, there will be insufficient pipeline capacity into the Northern Tier and Mid-Continent states to satisfy the total demand for crude oil and refined products; the imbalance between pipeline capacity and the demands for crude oil and refined products is estimated to be in the range of 400 to 500 thousand barrels per calendar day in 1980; a new West Coast to Northern Tier pipeline that ties into the existing Interprovincial/Lakehead pipeline and other existing pipeline systems could close the gap between pipeline capacity and the demand for crude oil and refined products. Such a line would give refiners direct access to three major crude oil surplus producing areas of the world: (1) Alaskan North Slope and the United States West Coast; (2) The Middle East; and (3) the Far East. The imbalance between pipeline capacity and the demands for crude oil and refined products in the Northern Tier and Mid-Continent states will be caused by: elimination of shipments of Canadian crude oil to refineries by the end of 1982; continued modest demand growth in the supply deficient Northern Tier and Mid-Continent states; and declining supplies of crude oil from Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Kansas, as well as declines in local production within the impacted states.
