The SPR Program is being developed in three phases to achieve the 750 million barrel objective. Phase I of the program consisted of the development of five underground oil storage sites and a marine terminal. Four of the storage facilities were sites with existing solution-mined caverns and the fifth was a conventional salt mine. Construction began in July 1977 and was completed in 1980. Phase I has a combined underground storage capacity of 1.7 million barrels per day. The principal programmatic objectives of Phase II are: to increase the total Strategic Petroleum Reserve capacity from 260 to 550 million barrels of crude; and to increase the maximum drawdown from 1.7 million barrels per day to 3.5 million barrels per day. A schedule for the SPR Program is presented in Attachment 1. The schedule depicts the design, construction and oil fill relationships of the three phases. A cumulative oil fill capability schedule for the 750-million-barrel program is provided in Attachment 2. Phase II will be developed to achieve the following objectives in terms of technical, cost, and schedule goals: storage capacity of 290 million barrels (MMB) (consisting of Bryan Mount - 120 MMB, West Hackberry - 160 MMB, Bayou Choctaw - 10 MMB); increase maximum drawdown rate by 1.8 million barrels per day; overall safety, security and environmental acceptability of storage facilities and operation; total project cost, excluding oil acquisition, of $755,629,000 or $2.61 per barrel; and project completion, including initial oil fill, by September 30, 1987.
