Oil crisis management: strategic stockpiling for international security

Book ·
OSTI ID:6875047
The development of national and international policies regarding the management of petroleum stocks are analyzed in a way that illustrates the connections between petroleum stockpiles and the larger concepts of supply security. A comparison of the policies and plans of the US, France, West Germany, Japan, Italy, and the Netherlands also assesses the prospects for effective international cooperation through the International Energy Agency in future oil-supply emergencies. Strategic reserves are shown to be too small and governments too reluctant to use them for fear of depleting stock levels. 207 references, 9 figures.
