The United States is planning to import liquefied natural gas (LNG) to offset the effects of our apparent dwindling natural gas supply. These imports would begin by the 1980s and would come from Algeria, Indonesia, Pakistan, Iran, Nigeria, and possibly the Soviet Union. If a disruption in LNG supplies were to occur, the impact to the nation could be eased by supplying oil to those with dual fuel (oil or gas) capability. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) could be called upon to supply this oil if an LNG embargo were to occur simultaneously with a foreign oil embargo. This report analyzes the impact which would be caused by an LNG embargo alone and a simultaneous LNG and oil embargo.
