International Energy Agency: Assessment of U. S. participation in the fifth allocation system test

Technical Report · Thu Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1987

OSTI ID:7081903

The possibility of a serious oil supply disruption led to creation of the International Energy Agency by the major oil consuming nations. One of IEA's objectives is to reduce the consequences of serious supply disruptions by sharing shortfalls. This report reviews U.S. participation in the most recent test of IEA's emergency oil sharing system. It examines how the test was designed and how well its objectives were met; it assesses U.S. participation and performance; and it evaluates the extent to which the oil sharing system and U.S. participation in it meaningfully exercised U.S. energy emergency preparedness plans and provided useful training.
