Book excerpt: GAO found that the ability and willingness of individual Caribbean oil producers and refiners to continue or to increase production and exports to the United States depend on complex and interrelated political, economic, financial, technical, and foreign policy considerations. Mexico and Venezuela have substantial oil reserves; however, both countries have nationalized their oil industries and restrict foreign investment in the petroleum sector, and both comply with production quotas set by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and have curtailed or delayed maintenance and development of oil facilities due to financial difficulties and in response to the current weak oil market. Furthermore, Trinidad and Tobago is rapidly depleting its known crude oil reserves. Future exports of refined petroleum products from Venezuela may be limited because the national oil company has postponed the upgrade of two refineries, and Mexico does not plan to be a refined product exporter. Other Caribbean refineries are closing down due to the worldwide excess of petroleum refining capacity and operating restrictions. Although the security of Caribbean oil facilities and transportation systems is vital to the United States, officials perceive little immediate threat from the current unrest in Central America. Finally, international assistance programs designed to develop alternative energy resources assist oil-consuming rather than oil-producing countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to increased U.S. reliance on Caribbean oil and unrest in neighboring Central American countries, GAO identified and discussed the various factors which may influence the supply of crude oil and refined products from various Caribbean countries. GAO found that the ability and willingness of individual Caribbean oil producers and refiners to continue or to increase production and exports to the United States depend on complex and interrelated political, economic, financial, technical, and foreign policy considerations. Mexico and Venezuela have substantial oil reserves; however, both countries have nationalized their oil industries and restrict foreign investment in the petroleum sector, and both comply with production quotas set by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and have curtailed or delayed maintenance and development of oil facilities due to financial difficulties and in response to the current weak oil market. Furthermore, Trinidad and Tobago is rapidly depleting its known crude oil reserves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High energy costs contribute to dampening Caribbean competitiveness and potential growth. This paper overviews power sector challenges and takes stock of national and regional strategies to address them. It presents recommendations to move the energy agenda forward based on analyses of macro-aspects of energy reform. These include: i) quantitative assessment of the impact of energy costs on growth and competitiveness; ii) evaluation of gains from implementing announced renewable energy and energy efficiency targets; and iii) analysis of the impact of energy investments on debt sustainability. The paper argues for a bigger role for the private sector in energy reform and discusses prerequisites for good public-private partnerships.

Download or read book Oil in the Sea III written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-03-14 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1970s, experts have recognized that petroleum pollutants were being discharged in marine waters worldwide, from oil spills, vessel operations, and land-based sources. Public attention to oil spills has forced improvements. Still, a considerable amount of oil is discharged yearly into sensitive coastal environments. Oil in the Sea provides the best available estimate of oil pollutant discharge into marine waters, including an evaluation of the methods for assessing petroleum load and a discussion about the concerns these loads represent. Featuring close-up looks at the Exxon Valdez spill and other notable events, the book identifies important research questions and makes recommendations for better analysis ofâ€"and more effective measures againstâ€"pollutant discharge. The book discusses: Inputâ€"where the discharges come from, including the role of two-stroke engines used on recreational craft. Behavior or fateâ€"how oil is affected by processes such as evaporation as it moves through the marine environment. Effectsâ€"what we know about the effects of petroleum hydrocarbons on marine organisms and ecosystems. Providing a needed update on a problem of international importance, this book will be of interest to energy policy makers, industry officials and managers, engineers and researchers, and advocates for the marine environment.

Download or read book Strengthening Post Hurricane Supply Chain Resilience written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-04-02 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resilient supply chains are crucial to maintaining the consistent delivery of goods and services to the American people. The modern economy has made supply chains more interconnected than ever, while also expanding both their range and fragility. In the third quarter of 2017, Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria revealed some significant vulnerabilities in the national and regional supply chains of Texas, Florida, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. The broad impacts and quick succession of these three hurricanes also shed light on the effectiveness of the nation's disaster logistics efforts during response through recovery. Drawing on lessons learned during the 2017 hurricanes, this report explores future strategies to improve supply chain management in disaster situations. This report makes recommendations to strengthen the roles of continuity planning, partnerships between civic leaders with small businesses, and infrastructure investment to ensure that essential supply chains will remain operational in the next major disaster. Focusing on the supply chains food, fuel, water, pharmaceutical, and medical supplies, the recommendations of this report will assist the Federal Emergency Management Agency as well as state and local officials, private sector decision makers, civic leaders, and others who can help ensure that supply chains remain robust and resilient in the face of natural disasters.
